Use examples of special achievements that will help the employer picture you successfully handling the job. A positive attitude helps. A major factor in many hiring decisions is how well the employer gets along with the applicant. To develop a good rapport, speak clearly, listen closely and show interest. When the employer says something that requires an answer, comment, smile, or nod . . .
Body language is important, too.
Sit up straight in your chair, lean forward slightly and maintain eye contact. Never smoke, even if the employer does. Ask meaningful questions about the position. Many employers evaluate applicants by the questions they ask. Employers like specific questions about the nature of the job, the company's plans and goals, and the abilities considered most important for the position.
