Do not be afraid to make eye contact while speaking; just make sure that you do not come across as intimidating.

Walk in with a purpose. Answer with a purpose. Try not to be too self-conscious.Answer questions confidently and as truthfully as possible.If you hit a snag and find yourself in a compromising situation, make sure you handle the situation confidently – even when saying that you do not know an answer to a question.If you answer with confidence then the employer will feel you are competent – possibly just the right person for the job.
