Here are 3 tips to sound empathetic in a job interview:





Listen actively: One of the key ways to show empathy is to actively listen to what the interviewer is saying. Instead of interrupting or waiting for your turn to speak, focus on what they're saying and respond thoughtfully. You can show that you're listening by nodding your head, maintaining eye contact, and asking clarifying questions.

  1. Use positive language: When you're answering questions, try to use positive language that shows you're enthusiastic about the job and the company. For example, instead of saying "I guess I could do that," say "I'd be happy to take on that challenge." This can help the interviewer see that you're genuinely interested in the position and eager to contribute.

  2. Connect on a personal level: Finally, try to connect with the interviewer on a personal level. You can do this by asking about their background or interests, or by sharing a little bit about yourself. This can help build rapport and make the interview feel more like a conversation than an interrogation. Just be sure to keep it professional and relevant to the job at hand.
