Don’t imitate the interviewer but try to maintain same overall tone, posture, and pace in order to more effectively communicate with the interviewer. Remember that your action may be considered as a mockery if you constantly imitate or duplicate his gesture. However make sure that you follow the interviewer’s lead.

Maintain eye contact

As far as possible try to maintain a eye contact with the interviewer. If you do not look into his eyes the interviewer may think that you are disinterested and lack confidence, honest and attention span. This does not mean that you should stare the interviewer down but maintain a strong, consistent eye contact.

Perfect your handshake

Your handshake will reflect your personality. So give a strong, firm and dry handshake. Your handshake speed and strength should be according to the employer’s handshake. Make sure that you maintain a medium grip with the interviewer, ensuring that soft flat part of your skin between the thumb and forefinger should directly touch the same part of the recipient hand. Prepare yourself to squeeze him with equal strength. Practice this technique with your friend before attending the interview.
