- Search and analyze the profile of the Interviewer/Recruiter in their social networks. This generates a sense of tranquility, since you can put yourself in context of what the face of the person is like, the way of expressing her/himself, the human part of that person on which, a big part of your goal depends for.Do not forget that He/She is a person just like you, do not overestimate, that will bring more normalcy to your performance during the interview.

- Prepare your outfit with enough time. You are never wrong when you're choosing it, having in clear a basic rule: The protagonist in the Interview: It is you, not your clothes or accessories. Choose a simple outfit, colors such as blue, which generate unconsciously confidence in the Interviewer, because of how colors and other factors affect our decision-making.
- Arrive on time!, it is recommended about 10 minutes before the agreed time. Comply, this small gesture, is an important part in the last decision of the selection of the appropriate Candidate. This talks about how important that appointment is for you, and how responsible you are with your purposes.
- Once you see the Interviewer/Recruiter, meet and greet with firmness and moderate sympathy, excess is not good, the balance in everything we do and say, is a valuable key.
- Take a seat where the Interviewer/Recruiter indicates you, make yourself comfortable and show your best version, natural and without forcing yourself to say or do anything that goes against the feeling good.
