Everyone is an Interviewer

Use good manners! Being polite is consistent with being polished and professional. Elevate your speech to include regular use of please, thank you, you’re welcome, and excuse me. Say yes instead of yeah.

When someone asks, How are you?, reply with good eye contact, a smile, and a positive statement. Ask them how they are in return and make it genuine. If you know you have room for improvement here, ask someone in your life to help you practice this in advance of interviewing. Give them permission to tell you when you forget to say please and thank you. Don’t forget to thank them when they remind you!
