Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. These following tips may help you make a good impression on your job interviewer during the interview: Before entering enquire by saying, "May I come in sir/madam?". If the door was closed before you entered, make sure you shut the door behind you softly. Look at the interviewer and confidently say 'Good day sir/madam'. If the interviewer wants to shake hands, then offer a firm grip first maintaining eye contact and a smile. Seek permission to sit down. If the interviewer is standing, wait for them to sit down first before you take your seat. An alert interviewee would diffuse the tense situation with light-hearted humor and immediately set rapport with the interviewer. The interviewer normally pays more attention if you display an enthusiasm in whatever you say. This enthusiasm comes across in the energetic way you put forward your ideas. You should maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the interview. A little humor or wit thrown in the discussion occasionally enables the interviewer to look at the pleasant side of your personality. You must maintain eye contact with the interviewer. This shows your self-confidence and honesty. Many interviewees while answering questions, tend to look away. This conveys you are concealing your own anxiety, fear and lack of confidence.
