Every time I come into a room I run down the seats and give everyone high fives. Every time.
I have gotten this feedback on actual cases too. My nature is to be really relaxed and not too frazzled, which can come off as apathetic. I realized I needed to do better to “match” the excitement/stress level of my managers, so they see themselves in me. For interviews, I’d try the same. Match their level of engagement and style of speech and you should be fine
Thanks BCG1! Definitely something I’m going to be more aware of moving forward. Didn’t realize that being too composed would come off as negative and need to find the right balance
Smile and don’t speak in a flat tone?
Try acting more excited? This doesn't have anything to do with how prepared you are for the interview questions. Smile more, speak enthusiastically. Ask lots of questions about the role. Convince them that this is your dream job, even if it's not.
Stay hydrated on your caffeine to ensure you are hype for the interview
It’s a weird piece of feedback cause on my project teams I’m always told I have a lot of excitement. Wonder if I’m too serious during my interviews and just need to relax a bit? I was told I’m a “great professional speaker” which may also mean I am boring lol
Drink coffee beforehand. This has always worked for me!
I usually just smile and say I’m excited about the potential opportunity 😂 they can’t tell me I don’t seem excited if I say it
Gotcha!
Could you try doing a mock interview with a friend/colleague and have them record it on video?
Thanks!
