Since it is a job for fresher and the interviewer knows that you are a fresher so he will not expect you to know the nuances of the job well but he will look for other personality traits in you that can ensure whether you will be good at the job in future or not. Although, there is no fool-proof way to judge it yet there are some general benchmarks that an employer goes by.
First and foremost, your body language when you meet the interviewer is the key to starting the interview on a good note. That you will be nervous is natural but don’t let nervousness over-power you in a way that you are unable to put your best foot forward. Control your nervousness and present a confident front. Greet the employer with a smile on your face and let him know how suitable you are for the job vacancy. Relate your experiences from school and college time that you feel can duly exhibit your confidence, leadership qualities and other positive traits. It is needless to say that you should have done your research about the industry and the company well in advance to be well-prepared. Exhibit this knowledge in a gentle manner. Let the interviewer know that you know what the job entails. Most questions would be asked from your resume only. So, be thorough with your resume and support each point with an example from your past life. Do not lie on the resume as your interviewer will be able to make it out easily and it will only leave a bad impression on him.
Once the interview is done with his questions, ask your questions and clear your queries about the job profile and the company. Ask intelligent questions only as this will display your genuine inquisitiveness about the role job. After the interview, thank the interviewer personally or send him a written Thank You note. Following all these tips, you can rely on your skills to get into your first job. If your preparation is done well and you have a strong will, landing your first job is for sure.
