its meaning and can express that meaning back to the speaker or sender of
the message

Effective communication for Interviews
Communicating effectively is one of the key steps to performing well in a job
interview. Good communication lets an interviewer know you're articulate,
educated and personable and it helps you get your important qualifications
known. Communicating effectively in a job interview can make a good
impression on potential employers
Initiate with a small conversation
Effective communication in a job interview should focus on positive or
neutral topics, not negative ones
Communicate clearly in a job interview by answering the questions you're
asked succinctly without elaboration or extra examples.
Your interviewer will likely be friendly and might try to make you feel
comfortable, but this doesn't mean you should treat the interviewer like your
friend.
Speak professionally during your interview with complete sentences and no
slang terms or colloquialisms
Avoid using filler words like "um" or "like" in sentences or to fill gaps in the
conversation when you're speaking during the interview
It's important to let your interviewer steer the interview in the direction he
wants or needs it to go
Take a few deep breaths to calm down if you feel yourself getting nervous or
overwhelmed during the interview
