The act of looking into
someone's eyes who, in
return, is
looking into your
eyes. Eye contact has many uses,
often invovling
communication. Here are some examples:
Interviews:
Good eye contact during a
job interview is right up there with a firm
handshake and an unfaltering
smile. If you
screw up in any way, the job is
lost. If you
figure it's
pretty much lost anyway,
feel free to
stare at your
thighs the whole
time.
Presentations:
Good eye contact is also a plus for presentations if both you and the
audience care about its content. In the case of many
speeches, only the
speaker cares about the content, and in the case of
boring technical presentations, usually both the presenter(s)
and the audience just want to
zone out until its over.
Communication:
Sometimes you can
communicate things to
people simply by using your eyes. But first you must acquire eye contact with them. This can be
frustrating as
hell if you're trying to communicate with someone who
never looks your way.
Supernatural:
Many people say they can
feel eye contact.
