When listening in a job interview or other experiences:
-Give your FULL attention
-Make sure you have a focused mind
-Let speaker finish, do not finish the sentences for them. The worse thing you can do is assume.
-Listen for main ideas and things that stand out.
-Ask questions to clarify and show that you were paying attention and can recite back to them what they have been saying.
-Give feedback, perhaps make a comment about something they mentioned that you may have problems struggling in or can really shine in.
- "Remember: time is on your side! Thoughts move about four times as fast as speech. With practice, while you are listening you will also be able to think about what you are hearing, really understand it, and give feedback to the speaker."
