How To Answer Interview Questions
The very nature of interviews can often create an impersonal environment. But in order to increase your likeability and effectively convince your audience to “buy in” on whatever you are “selling”, you need to portray a feeling of comfort, ease and confidence. They need to feel like they are privy to a personal conversation. They should feel like they are hearing from a friend. With the proper training, you can build trust with your audience and subsequently provide them valuable information on whatever your subject may be.
Interview Preparation
The best interviewees will look as if they are just speaking off the cuff. When in reality there is a great deal of training that goes into the ease of an interview. Nothing builds confidence like preparation. Don’t be thrown off guard when a microphone is thrust in your face. Learn the tools to ready yourself for any interviewing situation.
