    Quick Tip: Interview Eye Contact.

    May 15, 2012 9:57 AM | Mike Wood for RocheCareers

    Interview Eye ContactEye contact during an interview (or meeting) can be vital. If you let your eyes wander, it can make you appear disinterested, so it's very important to keep looking at the person you're talking with. If you're being interviewed by more than one person, make sure you "share" your eye contact. By missing one person out, you can make them feel "ignored". Similarly, by focusing on only one interviewer, you can make them feel awkward. Your task is to engage with everyone in the room. Try not to look away during hard questions, and try to focus on mostly the eyes. - but don't stare! And last, but no means least - Don't forget to smile!!
