Arrive ahead of time. Always arrive at least fifteen minutes early so you can catch your breath, go over your notes, and freshen your appearance before walking into the interview room.
Maintain eye contact. Looking a man or woman in the eye when speaking is not only polite and a good business practice, it's also a way to share a little love—in a professional way. It assures the other person of your sincerity and genuine interest.
Listen well. Take in what the interviewer is saying. Avoid jumping ahead to what you're going to say next. Have a small notepad handy so you can jot down an important point. You may refer to it later—showing the interviewer that you paid attention and that what he or she expressed mattered to you.
Say thank you. At the close of the interview, be sure to shake hands and express in warm words your appreciation. Don't just dash for the door, happy to have the ordeal over with! People who express gratitude will not be forgotten because they are so rare in our culture. A day or so after the interview send a personal thank you note in your handwriting. People who show a little love always win—professionally and personally. Become one of them.
