1. Research the Company Thoroughly
Know the company’s mission, vision, recent achievements, and culture. This shows genuine interest and helps you tailor your answers.
2. Understand the Job Role
Read the job description carefully, identify key skills required, and prepare examples to showcase your expertise in those areas.
3. Prepare for Common & Role-Specific Questions
Practice answering both general HR questions and technical or role-based ones. Use platforms like Takluu to explore questions from various industries.

When answering behavioral questions, use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to give structured and impactful responses.
5. Practice Mock Interviews
Simulate real interview scenarios to build confidence and improve your delivery.
6. Highlight Your Achievements with Data
Instead of just stating you “improved sales,” say you “increased sales by 30% in six months.” Numbers make your achievements tangible.

First impressions matter. Wear attire that matches the company culture but leans toward formal.
8. Ask Smart Questions
Prepare thoughtful questions about the role, growth opportunities, and company vision.
