Ice Breakers
The Interviewer may ask you if you had difficulty in finding their premises- do not give a big spiel in answering… nice and simple does it, “No problem at all.”
If there is more than one interviewer, give each of them eye contact… this puts everybody at ease.
Keep cool and breathe easily!!
