An engaged listener is someone who focuses on each question being asked and who asks for clarification when needed. To become an engaged listener, pay attention to all aspects of the interview. If you are asked a question with multiple parts, make a mental note of each part, and then begin to answer. If you have prepared and practiced, you will be ready to answer the questions. Include as much of the information you have practiced into your answers as possible. Ask the follow-up questions you have prepared. All of these actions send a message to the interviewer that you are prepared, interested, and passionate about the job.

Open-ended questions are questions that offer flexibility in terms of how an interviewee answers a question. Highly open questions have no restrictions on how an interviewee can answer a question, whereas moderately open questions have some limitations but generally give interviewees freedom in how they choose to answer. Open-ended questions are beneficial because they allow interviewees the time and space to speak their minds and to offer up information that the interviewer may not have otherwise asked about.
