Greetings are important.

Turn offyour phone.

No limp-noodle handshakes,

please.

Look people in the eye.

Greet your interviewers with confidence, looking them directly in the eyes as you introduce yourself. And don’t forget to address them as Mr. and Ms.—as old fashioned as it sounds addressing someone by their surname makes them feel important, which helps you get off on the right foot.

Don’t just set it to vibrate, turn it off. You’ve worked hard to get to the point of an interview. Don’t blow it by having a phone constantly buzzing in your pocket, distracting the interviewers.

Honing Your Job Interview Etiquette

Have you ever shook someone’s hand and felt like it might shatter under the weight of your grip? Wasn’t that gross? Be sure to give your interviewers a firm, but not aggressive or painful shake to show confidence!

Again, it may sound old fashioned, but looking people in the eyes projects confidence and shows your interviewers that you are engaged and value their feedback.
