Attentiveness can be shown by sitting forward on your chair, and leaning in toward the conference table just a little bit. Not too much though, if you lean too far toward the interviewer you can seem overbearing or aggressive. Fidgeting or fumbling with a pen or other object gives the appearance of impatience and boredom, as though you can’t wait for the other person to stop talking. Your attention should be firmly focused on the interviewer. A slight smile and nodding in agreement when the interviewer makes a point shows you care about what is being said, without signaling aggression. Nodding as the interviewer finishes a question, can signal that you have thought about this issue and are prepared to answer, implying competence and attention to detail.

Nobody likes to be stared down, but maintaining eye contact is important. Good eye contact will show confidence and honesty, especially when you are talking. If you are constantly averting your eyes or have difficulty looking the interviewer in the eye when answering a question, the interviewer may note this as a sign of deception, dishonesty, or extreme lack of confidence in whatever you are saying. If your eyes are darting down and to the left, this is almost universally recognized as a sign of deception. If you must look away, looking up and to the right signals that you are searching your memory or processing a thought, but is still not as effective as maintaining solid eye contact.
