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. Body language is important, too. Sit up straight in your chair, lean forward slightly, and maintain eye contact. 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. Answer questions by speaking in terms of the position. Emphasize what you can do for the company. Instead of talking about your childhood, family or personal ambitions, mention specific accomplishments that show your abilities and determination to succeed in this job. Your answers should tell the employer why you would be an asset to the company, not why you need a job.
