The interviewer will not only be assessing your qualifications for the job but also to find out what you are like and how well you would fit within the organisation.
Much research has been done on “First Impressions” . This research shows that what you say is not nearly as important as how you say it. That does not mean that the job will be awarded to the most “personable” candidate despite competencies.

Do you fit on the team? The best way to put the odds in your favour is by research and practice.
