However, when you receive a bad signal, you should ask the interviewer a question if they want to ask you something or did you mention everything.

We have to fight against the nervousness, and always stay calm and relaxed. The second thing knows what to wear on that particular day which might be a suit or depend on a job that you are applying to. Nevertheless, you want to dress formally because it will show the respect or interest and level of your seriousness to this job.

Therefore, is better off if you keep your feet flat, and you will look more professional and relaxed.

Eye Contact

Maintaining eye contact is absolutely pivotal if not the answer would be poor body language. The eye contact represents your attitude to others how you value them.

While it is totally important to be confident and look the interviewer in the eye, but locking eyes with someone for a long period of time can be interpreted as aggressive and uncomfortable. As a result, you ought to know how to manage the eye contact in an appropriate way.
