It’s a sign of nervousness.• Direct your answers to the entire panel of interviewers. Don’t focus on one person, or just the person who asked you the question.• Stick to the point.• Be honest. Demonstrate professionalism by not carrying tales about your college, professors or classmates.• If you need to buy some time before answering a question, ask for further clarifications on the topic. Or ask for time to think and answer.• Be patient and listen, especially when the interviewer interrupts you.• If you get the time or opportunity, clarify queries that you might have about the role (if it has not been addressed during the pre-placement talk).• Thank the panel of interviewers as you leave.
