Seeking for a new job isn’t easy and sometimes it can take a lot of time. The stressful moments before being called on an actual interview can make you nervous and restless. But if you are among those few people who got that call and if you get your invitation for your first interview, don’t panic. Yes, there are some set rules on what you should speak in order to introduce yourself and give the company a better picture about yourself, but also, some body language and phrases are welcome. These Tips to Act on a Job Interview might help you become that one candidate that the company is looking for.

#1. Don’t be late

Give yourself enough time to reach your destination, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. Seriously, instead to go there relaxed, you’d be even more stressed out because you won’t be able to get on time. If you can, go and look for the location a few days before, just in case. Don’t get there too early, either. It can make you look as tifyou have no other job, and they may get the wrong picture (that you panic or that you are impatient). The best time to arrive is between 10 to 20 minutes before your time.

#2. Research the company

Don’t worry if people call you a creeper or a stalker because you’re researching the company, in fact everybody does this. Take time to find out about challenges and problems that company is facing. The simplest method is simply to do a Google search. Actually, most companies would even ask you certain questions like “what do you know about our company/stuff we sell/produce” etc. in order to see if you were interested enough to do a research on them. If you stand there without any info about the company you applied your CV for, they would think that you are not well informed and that you were just sending your resumes to random job seeking ads.

#3. Dress code

Nobody says that you should dress in a suit, but even if you do it won’t be a mistake. After all it is an official interview and with your dress code you are showing respect towards the company, towards the whole process and towards yourself. If you aren’t fan of formal clothing, at least try to wear calm colors and decent clothing. Some people say that jeans aren’t good for interviews, but if you combine them with a shirt and a coat, it would be a simple causal yet formal combination.

#4. Don’t speak badly about ex bosses or places you worked for

Speaking poorly of a former employer, no matter how bad your relationship, could come back terrible to you. If you get the job they would know that you will trash them, if you don’t get the job maybe it is because of this mistake you did on the interview. Even if the interviewer asks you what you disliked about your former boss, refuse to take the bait. You can speak about things you learned, even if the context is different from what the interviewer might be thinking. The best answer is that you and your former boss were not on the same wave length or that you simply don’t wish to speak about it.

#5. Don’t over or underestimate yourself

This is not time to play modest. You are selling your knowledge and work experience. Don’t say that you don’t know how much money you wish to earn. Some employers would ask you directly about the salary part – You can say a sum “from-to” and that is okay. Some of them would ask you what you expect from the job – among the rest of the things (like personal growth, promotions and good correlations with your co-workers) you can mention that you of course expect suitable salary.

#6. Your education is important

Yes, companies would value your education, but they would value more your experience. If you are on your first job hunt, don’t hesitate to mention your college internships, activities that you took after classes or hobbies that you do. You’d be surprised that those things matter too. So if you happened to help your mother organize and plan a weekend trip for your extended family, mention that. If you help your father in his business, mention that too. Also, show that your education turned you into a reliable person with lots of knowledge in the area you prefer to work.

There is nothing worse than the horrifying looks of yellow teeth. While this happens for many reasons ranging from too much caffeine and tea to taking a ton of antibiotics to your diet it can often be treated. However the cost for the treatment can be quiet costly and cost hundreds of dollars. Often times many dental plans won’t even cover this as it’s considered cosmetic and that leaves you with a huge bill. Why pay all that money when you have a host of ingredients that are right in your kitchen or can be purchased at your local grocery store for just a few dollars. Today we are going to show you the top ten home remedies for whitening your teeth.

1. Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the best ways to whiten your teeth when used carefully. Please keep in mind these suggestions should be used in moderation. Excessive use of baking soda can erode your teeth’s natural enamel which can leave you prone to other issues. Here are some simple easy ways to use baking soda to whiten your teeth. Try mixing a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with a little bit of toothpaste. Brush your teeth with the gritty mix and do this at least twice a week.

4. Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide contains a mild bleaching ingredient which has the same results as those expensive whitening treatments. However pay extra attention when using Hydrogen Peroxide as overuse can irritate your gums and make your teeth extra sensitive. Try this method to make a hydrogen peroxide paste. Mix a paste of baking soda with some Hydrogen Peroxide. Then gently brush your teeth with it. Later on do a regular brushing of your teeth with your favorite regular toothpaste.

6. Salt

Salt has been used for hundreds of years and has been proven to be effective with removing yellow plaque marks from teeth. Simply mix regular table salt with some baking soda and very gently rub it on your teeth. Pay extra attention with salt as it can do some damage to your gums and teeth enamel if you brush harshly.

7. Holy Basil

Not only is Holy Basil very good at removing yellow plaque marks from your teeth but it also helps prevent advanced periodontal diseases such as pyorrhea. Leave a few holy basil leaves in the sun for several hours. Go out and check them periodically when they are dry this is when they are ready to be used. You then want to take the dried Holy Basil leaves and grind them in your blender until they are in powder form. Mix the Holy Basil powder with your regular toothpaste and start brushing away.
