USA
In USA people are very business like and they demand 100
percent from you during the working hours. Hence, in order to
make a good impression at the interview,
whether for the visa or for a job opening you might keep in mind
the following:
|
|
- Be very punctual
- Be polite and to the point while answering a question
- In case you do not know the answer say so, do not bluff your
way out
- Speak slowly (space the words) while speaking
- Give references to prove your credentials
- Dress
formally and pay a lot of attention to your grooming
- Do not volunteer any information, unless asked
- Do not sit unless asked to
- Ensure that the CV is impeccably
typed, without spelling mistakes and with correct
punctuation

USA being a permissive society will not attach much importance
to whether you are married to your partner or not; but they will
definitely look into the details of your qualifications,
University from where you graduated
and the type of
experience (if
any) and its relevancy to the job/ visa applied.
United Kingdom
Getting a
job in the UK is not that difficult as it is to get one in
USA. Moreover the officials are more open to Indians since there
is a historical background between UK and India. The points that
are mentioned for USA stand true for UK as well.
The extra point is that American English differs in many ways
from the British English. Make sure you speak their
language when you speak with them.
Australia and Canada too share the above points. The exception
being that the Australians are more relaxed against your fluency
in English, and rather concentrate on the educational
qualifications and experience the candidate has, while Canada
gives high emphasis on knowing English
or French. The other points stand true here too.

South Africa
South Africa has both the society as well as the education
system very similar to that of India. Their rural developments as
well as
unemployment issues are more or less like that of India
hence, you will be made comfortable during the interview. Be
careful though that they are quite strict about work and working
hours. However they totally freak out partying during the
weekend.
