Before entering enquire by saying, "May I come in sir/madam?".
If the door was closed before you entered, make sure you shut the door behind you softly.
Look at the interviewer and confidently say 'Good day sir/madam'.
If the interviewer wants to shake hands, then offer a firm grip first maintaining eye contact and a smile. Seek
permission to sit down. If the interviewer is standing, wait for them to sit down first before you take your seat.

with the interviewer. The interviewer normally pays more attention if you display an enthusiasm in whatever
you say. This enthusiasm comes across in the energetic way you put forward your ideas. You should maintain
a cheerful disposition throughout the interview.

of your personality. You must maintain eye contact with the interviewer. This shows your self-confidence and
