10. Knowledge source tip of the month! Interviewing! Firm handshake- show you’re confident Listen to the interviewer- be able to actively follow up with informed questions, shows interest Keep answers concise but informative- you want to get to the point but also answer the complete question. Picking a single point to conclude at can help streamline thoughts Silence is not a bad thing. Clarity- if asked something you are uncertain of, don’t be afraid to get clarification. This way you can clearly and confidently answer the question
