You must show self-confidence, and that you think that you are successful, no matter what you really may be feeling. It is your job to convince the hiring manager that you can handle the job and that hiring you is the best thing for the firm. You must take control of the interview and selectively present the facts in an organized, confident manner. Make sure this is done in a friendly way. Make sure your questions focuses on the interviewer s needs, not yours.
Limit responses to the interviewer s questions to two sentences, when possible.
Always connect what you are talking about to why you should be hired for the position. Emphasize your specific accomplishments without merely rehashing what is on your resume. If the interviewer criticizes the way you are handling the interview, don t get defensive or embarrassed. Thank the interviewer for the feedback and explain that you are just excited about the opportunity. Pick up cues from your interview by observing his or her office to gain an indication of his or her personality.
