Send a positive message using your body language. Shake hands firmly, but only if a hand is offered to you first. Always maintain eye contact and listen carefully. Welcome all questions even the difficult ones, with a smile. Give honest, direct answers. Develop answers in your head before you respond. If you do not understand a question, ask the interview to either repeat or clarify the questions for you. You don't have to rush to answer questions thrown to you, but you don't want to appear indecisive.

Restate any strengths and experiences that you might not have emphasized earlier. Mention a particular accomplishment or activity that fits the job. Find out if there will be additional interviews. Indicate a time when you may contact the employer to learn of the decision. Don't forget to send a thank-you note or letter after the interview.
