Pay Attention to Your Job Interviewer's Demeanor to Stand Out

Pay Attention to Your Job Interviewer's Demeanor to Stand OutBeing prepared is an important part of having a successful interview, but the anticipation of preparing can cause you to overlook something that'll make you stand out. Business blog Inc. has a tip that could help you at your next interview.

When you're at an interview, don't forget to pay attention to your interviewer. It's easy to get caught up recalling all the points you studied the night before, but remember that an interview is a dialogue.

Start-up CTO Kevin Morrill has one question he uses to gauge how well that dialogue is going?and how well he thinks candidates will perform. He asks every candidate to explain a topic of their choosing to him in five minutes.

"As they start explaining, I make sure to have the most vacant look on my face possible," writes Morrill. "I do not give any ?uh huh' or ?I see' kind of interjections that underlie most conversations. A star candidate will pick up on this and ask if I understand so far.

While your interviewer may not ask you to explain something in five minutes per se, picking up on their demeanor?and responding to it?can help you sell yourself in an interview.
