She said the first thing to do is to introduce yourself with a smile, a handshake that matches the firmness of the interviewer’s, and a relaxed and self-assured demeanor. Greet others on the panel and follow the interviewer’s lead to sit down or to head elsewhere. A weak handshake, shows a lack of authority. An averted gaze signals distrust or disinterest in the job. Show assertiveness by sitting up straight and leaning slightly forward in your chair. Maintain eye contact with the interviewer without making things awkward.
