1. Maintain Eye Contact While Talking
Eye contact depicts confidence clearly. Even if you’re seated correctly and wearing the right type of dress, if your eyes are wandering around the room while talking, you will give it away. Avoid looking away from the interviewer while answering the questions. It will make it obvious that you’re losing your grip.

2. Don’t Talk Irrelevant
When you’re unnecessarily trying to drag your speech around random topics, it gives a clear indication to the interviewer that you’re clueless. Speak only as much as you know. Take a pause while speaking. Keep your answers brief and crisp.

3. Take Part in Conversation
Taking part in the conversation doesn’t simply means answering the question. A conversation is two-sided. Be prompt in your answers. Don’t make the interviewer repeat the question twice unless you’ve not heard it properly the first time. Don’t let your mind wander towards the consequences and negative feelings.

4. Pay Attention to Your Posture
Posture speaks a lot about your temperament. Posture is the fool-proof way to show that you’re confident even when you’re not. Your body language will speak volumes about you. Make sure that you have a nice one. Readjust your body posture before the interview has started.

5. Smile
Everyone likes a charming personality. A haggard face is impressive, said no one ever! Drop that grave interview face and have a subtle smile on your face, telling you’re delighted to see your interviewer. A smile doesn’t mean that fake and creepy one. Try to smile genuinely.

6. Pay Attention to Your Tone
Your tone can make or break things. Not only in interviews, but also in life. Even if you’re saying subtle things, but a harsh tone can incite arguments. And bet me, you won’t like to indulge in any kind of argument with your interviewer. Keep your tone low but audible. You don’t have to raise your volume to convince the listener.

7. Breathe In, Breathe Out!
Just relax. So what if the interview goes bad? You’ll not get the job. That’s it. It’s not the end of the world. Put your carefree attitude on and see how things work up on their own. Just before the interview, drink a lots of water and practice breathing. Don’t think about the consequence for once. We are humans, we’re only meant to do the task and not to care for the consequences.
