Active Listening
Open up your body language by leaning forward slightly to communicate your interest.
Gestures
Do your best to avoid nervous giveaways such as tapping or shaking.
Facial Expression
Don't let your face tense up, stay relaxed with a friendly smile.
Posture
Sit up straight throughout the interview
Maintain Eye Contact
Avoid a glassy stare and remember that it’s OK if you break eye contact to think before answering a question.
Relax
Attempt to sit comfortably without appearing stiff.
Pace Yourself
Take your time to answer questions.
Tone of Voice
Speak clearly with a warm, well-modulated, confident and relaxed tone; slow your words down to avoid nervous chatter and control your volume.
Grammar and Speech
Work at using proper grammar; do away with nervous, “filler” words such as "you know," "um," "like," and "yeah."
Follow Up
Be proactive by asking for a business/ visiting card from all of your interviewers to ensure you will have their contact information for thank you notes. Ask about the most appropriate medium for following up (email, phone contact etc.).
