I agree to this point in the sense that, when you begin to brief your interviewers on a compelling story, you stand the chance to answer most of the questions as follow up based on your story. Their questions maybe limited due to time spent on knowing more from your narrative. This puts you on a high confidence level to deliver your speeches proficiently.

I always say that an effective communication is the bridge between clarity and confusion. Your ability to precisely communicate what you have is key when you want people to understand you. Yes, avoid the use of jargons as they may seem informal and you could be disallowed an opportunity. If your words are too technical for your interviewers to comprehend, probably, you would have to stay away while they look for someone who can speak to their understanding. All that you would hear after the interview is, well done, you will hear from us later.

Breathe. Smile. Smiling can be very relaxing for you as well as people interacting with you. Eye contact also is an important the way to connect. Listen well to the questions rather than thinking about responding. Pause for a few seconds before each response.

Use confident body language to reinforce your words. Maintain good posture, make eye contact, and use purposeful gestures. Positive body language conveys self-assurance and engages your audience.

Incorporate vocal variety to keep your audience interested. Vary your pitch, tone, and pace to emphasize key points and maintain their attention throughout the interview.

This technique is most applicable to me as a teacher. In my class, I always vary the pitch of my voice to inform my learners to pay critical attention to a particular point I'm conveying, I do that also to draw the attention of learners who aren't following the lesson. In likewise manner, during your interview, try to vary the pitch and tone of your voice in a purposeful order to enhance good communication.

I totally agree, Listening is such a crucial element to be a great speaker and communicator. During interview, it is common to get carried away with the urge to share about yourself, your achievements and your aspirations. You are eager to make an impression but at the cost of what? ignoring what the other person is saying can be a big turn off. One technique, I share with my participants and use myself is REFLECTIVE LISTENING. To ensure that you have correctly understood what the interviewer is saying, repeat what they said and then proceed to answer. It serves two purposes; they feel heard & understood and you are able to comprehend the right response meanwhile. Wish to see more active and reflective listeners in professional settings.

Demonstrate active listening by responding thoughtfully to questions and comments. This shows respect for the interviewers and allows you to tailor your answers more effectively.

End your responses with a strong conclusion that reinforces your key message. A powerful closing leaves a lasting impression and underscores your public speaking capabilities.
