Are You Global Ready?

My clothes fit properly — not oversized, not tight

My belt colour matches my shoe colour (black with black, brown with brown)

No loose threads, stains, or creases on my interview outfit

I apply deodorant — on my body, not just my clothes

My hair is neat — trimmed, combed, or tied properly

My beard is clean-shaven or trimmed sharp — no shabby stubble

(If applicable) My makeup is moderate and my bag has no marks or loose threads

I lay my outfit out the night before — not the morning of the interview

I can walk into a room without rushing or shuffling

I keep my shoulders back — open, not puffed up

My eye contact is natural — not forced, not avoidant

My handshake is firm — not bone-crushing, not a dead fish

I wait to be invited to sit before I sit down

I sit slightly forward, feet on the floor, hands visible

I don't slouch, rub my palms, or touch my neck when nervous

I can hold a real smile — not a nervous grimace

I do NOT start my introduction with "Myself [Name]"

My "tell me about yourself" answer is under 90 seconds

I use short sentences — one idea, one sentence, then pause

I've cut filler words: "basically," "you know," "like"

I own my achievements — I say "I am," not "I could be"

I've practised my top 5 answers out loud — not just in my head

I've recorded myself and listened back at least once

I've done jaw-stretch exercises before an interview

I've practised the "fake phone call" on the way to a meeting

My opening tone is calm and confident — not fearful or apologetic

I take one breath before answering the first question

I speak at a pace a non-native English listener can comfortably follow

I know the interviewer, company, and role in detail

I've researched what the company actually does

I arrive 10–15 minutes early — never rushing in at the last second

I treat the receptionist and security with full respect

I carry a printed copy of my CV — not just on my phone

I don't rehearse with my lips moving while waiting outside

I know my "why" — why this role, why this country, why now
