Interview Tips

What to Expect in an Interview – A Guide by CDC, DIU

At the Career Development Center (CDC), Daffodil International University, we understand that interviews—whether for jobs, training, or academic opportunities—can be challenging. That’s why we’re here to help you prepare with confidence.

While employers or institutions may not expect you to have done the exact job before, they’ll be looking for your relevant skills, academic background, and strengths. The same applies to interviews for internships, higher studies, or training programs.

Things to Check Before Your Interview

Once you’ve been invited for an interview, be sure to:

• >Confirm the date and time to ensure it fits around your schedule.
• >Understand the format—will it be in-person, online (video), or over the phone?
• >Make time to prepare thoroughly so you can feel confident and composed.

How to Prepare Effectively

To give your best in an interview, CDC recommends:

• >Read the job or program description carefully to understand the skills and qualifications required.
• >Research the organization—visit their website, explore their values, and recent updates.
• >Review your resume or application to anticipate possible questions.

>Prepare examples from your academic, extracurricular, or work experiences to showcase your abilities.
