Many advocate conveying a certain demeanor at interviews. It is important to be professional, appear keen and friendly, and to answer questions confidently. This can be easier said than done when you are feeling nervous. Interviewers are looking for a candidate who is easy to work with and reliable. Flippant behavior is not appropriate, even if you have worked with and know members of the interview panel extremely well. When answering questions try not to give limp answers. The best way to avoid this lies in good preparation. You should never lie, and be prepared to have people challenge your answers and to defend them if appropriate.
