Before the Interview
Ensure that you are clear about the following details
- About the project (JD, TN ID, etc.)
- Accommodation
- Transport
- The intern's background
Do keep in touch with the intern between the period of application and the interview so that he/she doesn't get too tempted by other projects, and be on time.

TIPS TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW
- Sound excited. EPs are more likely to accept your offer if you seem eager to have them.
- Know your product. Don't bullshit. If you aren't sure of an answer, tell them that you will find out and get back to them.
- Do NOT promise them what you cannot deliver. Ensure that expectations are set right right from the interview.
- Make them believe that they have already decided to take up the offer. For example, ask them WHEN they're sending you the EP AN rather than IF they're sending it.
- Ensure that the interview is more conversational. that way the EP will feel less nervous and more connected to you.
AFTER THE INTERVIEW
Tracking
As mentioned earlier, you have told your EP that this project is custom made for them. Take this to the next level by noting simple details that may be useful while perhaps, providing the EP kit. Note down details like allergies, and maybe even favorable tourist interests. That way, when your EP arrives, you would have done your research on what the EP would want to talk about/see/buy and this will only make it easier for a higher NPS.

VISA Documents
No deal can be closed without some standard paperwork. Following are the documents your EP will need for their VISA to be processed.
1. TN AN2. IL
3. Namma Bengaluru Booklet
Do note that there may be other documents that they may need depending on their country's foreign policy with India. Hence, it is crucial for you to keep in touch with your EP especially during the time when they're getting their VISA processed.
That's all folks!
Now go, match.
