There are two words interested and interesting. Its meaning is also confused about you should be interesting or interested in something. There is a contest about interesting or interested and the book written on the topic related to it “How to friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie. This book illustrates the importance of being interested and how to have impact on people of being interested in them.

There is a reference given in the book of Dale Carnegie that a man who runs the circus and soon he becomes famous and get a piles of money on daily basis of his show routine. This circus gets this award just because when he starts the show every time he shows acknowledgment towards people and thanks them for coming to his show and says to them that you have dignified me for coming and watching this show.

So the lesson we get from this story is that we should be always interested instead of being interesting. The interested you are in people the more benefit you are going to get and being interesting will not get you there where you want to be so, instead of talking about yourself we should talk about others showing them the respect and owner that they deserve and acknowledge them for their achievements. As said by Sir Dale Carnegie that “To be interesting be interested”. One more line by Dale Carnegie“If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener”.

The same story here in the interviewing case you have to show that you are interested in them by showing them the importance of they have in your mind. So, know how to show them that you are interested in them is the most important question? The answer is that by showing interest in them you required a great knowledge about the company you and for which you are applying for.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. How long has it been since you did something for the very first time? Pursue your interest in areas that will involve new experiences or delve deeper into something you are already knowledgeable or experienced in. When you show that you’re passionate and engaged in what interests you, you’ll be perceived as more interesting by others. So, for a job showing interest in them and how to be interested in them requires a deep research about that company that how they are working, What are their motives, and Why and how they are serving to this nation and its community.
