Key Points for an interview

• Smile!
• Be prepared to shake hands firmly, but don't break the interviewers wrist. Similarly a "wet fish" (weak) handshake will suggest a weak character.
• Wait to be invited to sit down.
• Try to relax - don’t sit on the edge of your chair and don't lean too far back: sit up reasonably straight and still.
• Don't sit with your arms crossed (see question 1)
• Keep up good eye contact with the interviewer (according to research this apparently is especially important for men) but don't eyeball them all the time!
• Speak clearly but not too fast: a deeper calm voice suggests authority, whereas as excitable high-pitched voice suggests a nervous personality.
• Head nodding to show agreement can help, especially for female candidates.

Practice - Interview your partner - when you are both ready - call me over to observe for grade.
