The key to making a good impression in a job interview is careful preparation. Preparing for a job interview is just as important as studying for an academic examination. As with tests, preparation and practice can ease some of the tension and anxiety and increase your chances of success.

Know yourself. Be able to discuss and quantify past achievementsand give concrete examples demonstrating your skills.
Know what you are looking for and what you have to offer.
Know about the job, employer, and industry.
Know how you can make a contribution to the employer.
Know the interviewing process for the employment opportunity.

Remember, especially in Hong Kong and Tokyo that there is rarely a position open that does not draw many qualified applicants. You get only one chance to leave the right impression, so take the time to do your homework. Research the potential employer and prepare and practice for the job interview to increase your chances of leaving a positive impression. You must be able to show how your specific set of skills and know-how will make you more effective in meeting the specific job requirements in the relevant geographic and functional markets of the role.
