Let me ask you first How are you today? What comes first in your mind? I’m good thank you!
If it’s your answer then you are probably giving the same answer your interviewer has heard since the interviews started. If you want to stand alone from others then your first answer should be different and unique. Because we all know the first impression is the last.
You have prepared for all the technical questions but “How Are You Today” is the one you will face first.
You might think you have prepared everything which the interviewer going to ask during your interview.
And you haven’t prepared the most casual question. But sometimes you’ll not be able to answer impactfully these questions.
As everyone thinks this is a normal question, why should I prepare for that?
But in these normal questions, people start fumbling and this leaves a bad impact on the interviewer.
To avoid these things you should know how to respond properly to the norm greetings.
In this post, we’ll share the best replies you can give to the “How Are You Today” question In An Interview.

Interviews are not about only what you know. How much knowledge do you have? Or question-answers only.
There are many things included in that. Which your interviewer notices in you.
It starts from when you enter the room. How do you answer the normal questions like “How Are You Today?” or “How are you feeling today?”.
You can also answer “I’m fine thank you” like most people do.

“Not just fine. But, I’m very excited about this interview.”
Normally people won’t reply to that pretty long answer. But if say this then you will indirectly share your excitement about the interview.
Which is a positive sign for an interviewer.
“I’m doing good today. How about you?”
This answer is not good in face-to-face interviews. But if you have a telephonic interview or Video call interview then you can give this answer.
“Today I’m feeling so confident.”

But on the other hand, they also ask this question to make you feel comfortable. And to break the ice.
So, you need to react and respond normally with a positive attitude.

But if you want you can just say ‘I’m Feeling good, thanks for asking.
As this works always.
