5. Smile, especially when you first meet the interviewer. That first impression will stick in the manager’s mind for a long time.

6. There’s nothing like a confident handshake! The right amount of tension in your grip is important—not too tight, not too limp.

7. Eye contact is actually a form of communication and it has a magical ability to build rapport. So, make eye contact with your interviewer, both when you’re talking and when he’s talking.

8. Try to have good posture that shows you’re alert and focused. Avoid negative body language. In other words, don’t cross your arms over your chest, don’t clench your fists, don’t clutch your purse or briefcase tightly, or do anything that might indicate insecurity, hostility, or resistance to change.
