Do not expect your first 10 applications to succeed. Depending on the post you are applying for, maybe even your first 100 applications will fail. Be persistent.

6. Preparing for the interview. Congratulations. You have passed the first major hurdle. Now you need to prepare for your interview. Your mouth is your most important asset here. Open your mouth and ask. Find out the dress code. Do they expect you to show up in long sleeve shirt and tie? Or will smart casual do? Do you need to bring along anything? Do they expect you to prepare anything ahead of time? If you were informed of the interview by email or by post, you will need to phone up the HR department to find out this information. Even if you could not get the phone number of the HR department, you should be able to get the main line. Phone up and get your call routed to the HR department. You want to make a good first impression, and you will not be able to do that if you are not prepared. Do not be too stressed out, though. Unless the oil company is truly desperate, do not expect your first interview to land you a job. Relax and treat your first few interviews as practice.

7. During the interview. Do not just answer the questions of your interviewers. And do not just give one word answers. Even if the question seems like it only needs a straightforward "Yes" or "No" answer, try to explain or give relevant examples. If your do not understand a question, clarify it with your interviewers. Also make sure your interviewers understand your answers. Do not let a simple misunderstanding or mis-communication cost you a job. Please note that a job interview is not just for the employer to ask you questions. You should ask your own questions. Find out who you will be working for. Hopefully, he is one of your interviewers. What is his working style? What does he really want from you? What he actually wants and what HR actually posted on the job boards or newspapers are not necessarily the same thing. Open your mouth and ask relevant questions. How does their company actually work? What are working conditions like. What is the work environment and who are your colleagues. What kind of people will you be working with? Use these as a starting point to think of your own questions. Even though you should have answers to some of these questions from your own investigations (read Part #1), you should confirm the information you already have.

8. After the interview. Case closed, right? No. This is a common mistake made by many job seekers. After your interview, take a step back and evaluate your performance. Learn from your mistakes so that you do better in your next interview. And think about whether you want to work for that oil company if they offer you a job. You must be able to get along well with other workers.
