can make you shift ground a times.

what gets you tensed during an interview?

There are several things that can make you tensed up during an interview:

Eye contact: Most applicants are usually not comfortable with maintaining eye contact with their interviewer, they feel intimidated especially with a large number of interviewers sitting across usually with weird expressions on their faces - this is not just cool! Making the right amount of eye contact in an interview can make the difference in whether you successfully snag a job. According to UCLA professor and researcher Albert Mehrabian, 55 percent of messages processed by the brain are based on a person's body language. This means that your facial and eye movements are constantly being judged . The eyes become the window into your interest level, confidence and professionalism during an interview. When you establish good eye contact, you'll feel heard and appear likable. A job seeker said ''making eye contact for the first to 3 times sucks but after that i'm gear''

Body language: body language marks an interviewee's first communication with a potential employer, it is not just what you say but how yo say it. Most male applicant feel uncomfortable especially if its a lady-A male job seeker had shared his experience on meeting with a female interviewer- ''when the interviewer wears push up bras that looks like they stuffed the boobs in it with short skirts then not cross their legs properly, thinking of what they are interviewing me for, is it a distraction or what or maybe to see how i could concentrate''. 

The length of the time: The amount of time spent on an interview depends on the position you applied for,the interviewer and how well the exchange is going. A naturally a shy person and agoraphobic/demophobic, and a man of few words will likely find it difficult to communicate more during the interview process.

The feeling of not passing the interview: We all learn from our experiences and interviewing is no different. Most people walk out of a job interview feeling one of two ways: like they definitely nailed it, or like they completely failed. They spend the next few hours (or days, or weeks) over-thinking every response they have and ever gesture they made — wondering how hiring manager felt about them. But things don’t have to be a complete mystery in the time between when you walk out of the interview and when hear whether or not you got the job. 

Questions outside the context of the job: Most interviewers often do this to determine how confident you are and this may likely degrade your personality if care is not taken. Job interview questions can vary widely, but most fall into a small number of categories. Asking too many of these questions in rapid-fire succession can make candidates feel as though they're being interrogated, especially if you fail to link them back to the job criteria.  The interviewer might be looking for a simple question you expected not to bring you down after answering series of questions without phobia

Salary negotiation: This is the most tricky part of the interview and could even break your chances of getting the job. The question usually comes in this manner “What are Your Salary Expectations?” Never try to negotiate anything unless there is an offer!
