Post to Twitter Post to Facebook Post to StumbleUpon

Explaining what you can do for the company is important during your intervew but so is building rapport with your interviewer. Here are 3 ways to achieve this:
Build rapport with your interviewer

  1. Mirror their body language – Even if you feel nervous, be poised and friendly. If the interviewer uses open body language – leaning towards you or keeping their arns open – do the same.
  2. Find common interests – Look for ways you are alike. Perhaps shared interests or experiences. Ideally they will be work-related.
  3. Tell stories with a moral – Every story you tell should have a purpose. This will convey your most desirable qualities – loyalty, work ethic or trustworthiness.
