  Five Ways To Guarantee Landing The Perfect Job  
 
There are ways to win and ways to lose when it comes to landing the perfect job. Before you begin looking you want to make sure you know things you should do in order to at least increase your chances of landing that perfect job you want. Nothing is a guarantee but failure to do the right thing is certainly a guarantee to failure.
Dress appropriately for the interview

Even if you are going to a factory or warehouse for the interview, dress in business attire unless you are told otherwise by the interviewer. Do not assume it is appropriate to wear jeans or other casual attire because of the location of the interview.
Learn something about the company where you are going

Nothing will kill your chances of a job quicker than your lack of knowledge about the company where you are going. The interviewer may not ask you about your knowledge but you want to be prepared in case he or she does ask. There are often occasions where an interviewer will ask how you feel you can be an asset to the company, and you can only answer that if you have some knowledge about what the company does and more importantly, the types of goods or services they provide.
Do not discuss personal issues with the interviewer

As tempting as it may be to become friends with your interviewer, that is an easy way to lose the job. Keep the conversation focused on things that are related to the job for which you are applying. If the interviewer asks questions that relate to your family keep your answers focused on only the question he or she asks. There is no need to provide any information beyond that asked.
Never talk negatively about a former employer

This is one of the worst mistakes you can make when you are applying for a new position. If the interviewer asks why you left your previous employer, be brief and do not elaborate and most of all, do not blame the company.
Make eye contact with the interviewer

You want to make sure the interviewer knows you are focusing on him or her. Do not look around the room or make notes unless they are related to the interview or the company with which you are interviewing. Pay attention to the interviewer and not other things in the room.
