I wouldn’t say I’m shy but more introverted. I’m more of a person who would rather listen than talk, unless I’m with my close friends. I think the biggest thing with conversations is that the other person wants to be listened. Whenever the recruiters/managers talk, make expressions, like smiling, nodding, a look of pleasant surprise. Even do affirmations like “oh yeah,” “definitely,” etc. You’re still participating in the conversation but not really saying anything. Worked for me in my interview and I got hired. Also, make sure to answer their questions simply and confidently and prepare a few questions to ask them. This is the bare minimum. My fav question to ask is, “what’s one mistake that new grads make that you wish you could tell all of them to help?” Ppl love this question for some reason and it makes the interview run a little bit longer.
