\n1.\tBe a good listener<\/strong>. Listening is tough for many. However, if you can listen carefully to your interviewer, they will share the most important employment traits for their job. Then when you have a firm grasp of these employment essentials, you can better customize your interview responses to meet the interviewer\u2019s needs.
\n2.\tProvide a strong greeting<\/strong>. Stick your hand out, firmly shake the interviewer\u2019s (or anyone you meet during networking) hand, introduce yourself and smile. The premium is remembering to smile. Make it a very warm and sincere smile. Many people are reluctant to do this.
\n3.\tPractice<\/strong>. Many interview techniques can easily be practiced at home in the mirror or on videotape. The more you practice, the stronger and more natural your responses will be. <\/p>\n
