The New Year brings new opportunity for eager job seekers across southeast Louisiana. However, many who are trying to move up the corporate ladder, catch up on holiday bills, or even save up for summer vacation, struggle with the difficulty of starting a job search.

Making your best impression in a job interview is crucial when competing for an open position. Most people know to maintain eye contact, remove chewing gum, and dress professionally. Here are five little interviewing tips that can make a big difference:

1. Refrain from playing with jewelry (twirling your ring, jingling your bracelet)
2. Hold your chin up and keep your head level to show attentiveness.
3. Always know the name of your interviewer.
4. Speak slowly and clearly to maintain a calm and confident presence; many interviewers recommend you limit your answers to two minutes.
5. Wait to be asked to take a seat and sit with your knees together.
