Relax
Try to enjoy yourself. Imagine that the interviewer is a sports star, famous author, or movie celebrity you’ve always admired. (Try to overlook the middle-aged paunch or glaring bald spot.)
Keep Smiling
No, not a fake grin. Just maintain a pleasant, relaxed smile that is, hopefully, a by-product of your involvement in an interesting conversation. Put yourself in the interviewer’s place "Who wouldn’t want to work with such an agreeable person?"
Be Enthusiastic
Be enthusiastic about the position, your accomplishments, and what you know about the company.
Be Honest
Lying about even the smallest or least important details could be grounds for immediate dismissal.
Make Lots of Eye Contact
Have you ever known someone who wouldn’t look you in the eye? After a while, you probably started to wonder what that person had to hide. You don’t want your interviewer wondering anything of the sort. So meet his or her eyes while you’re shaking hands, then frequently throughout the interview. But don’t stare, unrelenting eye contact is as bad as none at all.
Remain Positive
As we’ll see when we discuss questions about your previous jobs, you must learn to put a positive spin on everything, but especially loaded issues, such as your reason for leaving a job, troubled relations with your superiors, or the lack of required qualifications.
Don’t Let an Unskilled Interviewer Trip You Up
Make sure the preparation you’ve spent so much time on comes shining through, especially when a manager throws you a curve. If need be, your advance preparation should give you the power to take control of the interview, allowing you to emphasize the many ways in which you will benefit the prospective employer.
Turn weaknesses into strengths
Never talk for more than 2 minutes straight
Never speak badly of past supervisors or employers
