Making Eye Contact

Always look the interviewer in the eye when shaking hands and introducing yourself. It is also important to maintain positive eye contact throughout the interview. You are not trying to "stare down" the interviewer, but trying to show him/her that you are interested in the conversation, that you are secure, confident and have self-esteem.

Poor eye contact during the interview can send negative messages to the interviewer that you are scared, disinterested, insecure, nervous or lacking in self-esteem and confidence.
