Dress, act and speak professionally. Always keep an eye contact with your interviewer. If you're a girl, don't initiate the hand shake or expect one especially if your interviewer is not used to Western customs.

Armand: You're welcome. Been here, done that. Just sharing what I know.

Also, you only respond to what your interviewer asks you.

Read about the job description and understand it very good and try to guess some question. The most important thing is to be a confidence.
And do not forget to wear nice suit and be cool

regardless of the job description, it is always important to be well read and well versed in the regional and global current events, its not just about what you present to the job in terms of appropriate knowledge or relevant knowledge.

interviewers in Kuwait are laid back, if you are unlucky you will get tested with an exam, but even if you do not pass the exam, but have left a good impression, you will get the job. happened to me personally.

be upbeat, smile and joke, dont be stiff or a square. lead the interview, and most importantly be prepared to answer the following question about urself:

what do you think is your greatest weakness?

once u find the answer to that question, you are all set for the job.

also consider the body language signs you give to the interviewer.you never know who is taking interview.a professional might be watching you,not just the interviewer.
