There are many ways to communicate during your job search - writing (emails, texts, marketing portfolio) and speaking (interviews, presentations). Even the most prolific speakers practice and have tips and tricks to engage their audience.
It's important when you are in an interview that you show clarity and confidence in telling your story.
TIPS:

- Do your research to know what is important to your audience (recruiter/hiring manager) and can showcase the value you bring to the table.
- Practice talking about your relevant previous experiences and bring in your own personality in your storytelling.
- Additionally, you can engage your audience by telling stories and analogies that connect with what's important to them and aligns with you. (MIT Professor Patrick Henry Winston)
