Explaining what you can do for the company is important during your interview but so is building rapport with your interviewer. Here are 3 ways to achieve this:
- Mirror their body language - Even if you feel nervous, be poised and friendly. If the interviewer uses open body language leaning towards you or keeping their arms open do the same.
- Find common interests - Look for ways you are alike. Perhaps shared interests or experiences. Ideally they will be work-related.
- Tell stories with a moral - Every story you tell should have a purpose. This will convey your most desirable qualities loyalty, work ethic or trustworthiness.
