Some important points to remember about attending interviews

Some points should be noted before you go to face an interview and these are also very important. Before the interview starts you can develop your strategy. Remember your good points and review your qualification mentally. You can also make up some questions and practice answering them. Try to dress appropriately. Singapore is a highly humid country and because of this reason it is acceptable for men to wear a tie and long-sleeved shirt for the interview. Women can wear cool and humble professional attire. If you are new and unfamiliar with the area, try to get a map so that no one can mislead you. Start early otherwise you can stick into the traffic. Punctuality is very important which you have to maintain.

Since Singapore is a hub for financial services. Many multi-national companies have their regional headquarters here. Because of the world wide dimension and other multi lingual culture, you can expect your interview to be in English in Singapore. The younger generation is mainly educated in abroad. They speak English fluently and expect to do the same in and around them. It is customary in Singapore to shake hands before the meeting starts. It is mandatory that women extend their hands first when shaking hands with a man. If you are trying to present your business card, do so with both hands, as with any other papers.

Singapore is multicultural. Some of the social conventions are still there. While in Singapore it is courteous not to stare at others. Start to make direct eye contact. Also try to be respectful of age. With all these plus points in character you will definitely feel comfortable in Singapore.
