Maintain Eye Contact

Keeping eye contact with your interviewer is very important, especially when one of you is speaking to the other. If you are looking around the room or at the items on the interviewers desk, you will appear uninterested.  Just imagine what you would be thinking if you were speaking and the interviewer was looking all over the room. You would probably think that you have already lost the interview. Good eye contact also applies when answering questions the interviewer has just asked you. That is why it is critical to listen while the question is being asked and as you are listening to think of what your response might be.  If you know what you are going to say it is easier to keep good eye contact and begin to speak right away, instead of looking up or around the room trying to think of an answer.
