Hand Shake: Your handshake will make you half winner at interview. Handshake seems simple but it is an important act of interview. Let the interviewer offer the hands first. Shake the hands with a professional tone and grasp the palm in a soft manner.

Eye contact: This is most important aspect of the interview. Maintaining eye contact is most important for a successful job interview. It conveys your personality to the interviewer in an effective way.
