• Sit with a straight and confident posture;
• Be assertive yet humble. You need to stick to your values and beliefs, but learn to respect the values and opinions of others too;
• Grab the opportunity to speak first, i.e. to start the group discussion with your opinion. It generally leaves a good impression on the evaluator, but take the move only if you have complete knowledge of the subject;
• Do not repeat a point, or be lengthy or irrelevant. Also intervene, if someone else is going on an irrelevant track;
