These following tips may help you make a good impression on your job interviewer during the
interview . 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

immediately set rapport with the interviewer. The interviewer normally pays more attention if you display an
