While no signs are 100 percent foolproof, there are definitely some indicators that you have won over your interviewer.

Round two
The easiest way to gauge short-term success is if the interviewer asks you to return for another round of interviews. If he wasn't interested, he would be evasive as whether or not you could expect to hear back from someone. "The hiring manager does not want to waste any more time interviewing you if you are not a fit," Honaman says. "Invitation to the next round is a win!"

Meet the team
It's a good sign when the hiring manager chooses to introduce you to the team on the spot, or mentions that there are some people she would like you to meet. If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't take the time in making acquaintances.

Nonverbals speak
Nonverbal signals are often a good predictor of interview performance. Pay close attention to the interviewer(s) and observe such nonverbal cues as taking notes, smiling, nodding or asking probing questions, Honaman says. "At the same time, if an interviewer is taking few notes, looking at their watch repeatedly [or] not asking detailed questions, the interview may not be going well."
