Name
Beginning of any conversation, be sure to introduce yourself, the interviewer should remember you well. Just like you should remember his name well. Psychologists have found that the most pleasant word for a person is his own name. Therefore, if you want to make a good impression, show your interest and friendliness, often contact the person you are talking to by name. Of course, this should be appropriate - you should not start each sentence with the name of the interviewer.

Clothing should not become the main goal, but you need to pay enough attention to it. First of all, it must correspond to the culture of the company in which you come. It is important to find a middle ground for yourself between strict style and memorable. You should not remain faceless, but also not stand out too much, otherwise the interviewer will remember only your clothes, and not you personally.
Language of the body
Do not forget about the proper use of body language. Try to avoid closed poses - do not cross your arms or legs during a conversation, do not hide your hands in your pockets, do not occupy someone else's personal space, behave calmly and restrained.
Word
You should think over your speech in advance, prepare for typical questions. Do not use slang words, slang, and watch out for parasitic words. If you are talking with a personnel manager, then try to use as few professional terms as possible, which will be little understood. Your goal is to convey the essence, and not to splurge.
You can operate with numbers, dates, percentages and indicate past results and personal achievements. It is useful to use perfect verbs, such as: “improved”, “achieved”, “developed”, “implemented”, etc., they will help emphasize the completeness of your actions and the result.
And to arouse interest in your words, it is appropriate to tell one or two stories from professional and / or personal life. In conclusion of your story, the interlocutor should form an idea about you as a person who is worth dealing with, who achieves goals, is not afraid of work; as a person who is useful for cooperation and even irreplaceable :)
Negative Statements
You set the tone for the conversation using affirmative or negative expressions. For example, talking about English proficiency, you can say that you do not know it at a high level and did not complete additional courses after studying it at the university. And you can say that you speak English at the pre-intermediate level, studied it at the university and attended additional courses. The essence itself has not changed, but the perception of this information has changed.
Particle “not”
It is not always possible to completely get rid of the “not” particle. In this case, “I-statements” are used to create a positive image. For example, instead of the phrase: “You misunderstood me,” it’s better to say, “I guess I didn’t quite correctly explain it.” The first phrase can cause negative and be considered a rebuke towards the interviewer. Therefore, it is important to mitigate such situations.
Completion of self-presentation
This is a kind of conclusion of the transaction. When you present a product or service, you complete the transaction, leading the customer to make a purchasing decision. In the same way here - you motivate the employer to deal with you. Specify what prospects can wait for you, when to wait for a call, whether a new meeting is planned.
Once again, say a few words about why and why it is worth cooperating with you, what benefits the interlocutor will receive if he agrees to this. And, of course, do not forget to thank people for your attention, and if you enjoyed the conversation, do not hesitate to demonstrate this with a friendly smile and a couple of nice goodbyes.
