"Nothing is interesting if you are not interested" by Helen Maclnnes. There are three ways that you can show a person that you want to know more about what a they are talking about by asking question to them about the topic they are talking about.
1) Asking questions to show the other person that you are interested to know more in what they are saying. In addition, asking more than one question shows that you are listening to what they are saying. In addition, when can you ask questions? when they person stopped talking because asking when they are talking is not polite and maybe the other person will forget what he was going to say, so try to be polite and ask question in the best time so you do not interrupt the person that is talking. moreover, some other questions you can ask the person that is talking,How did you get into what you do?, What do you like about it?, What are you trying to accomplish that is important to your career (business, life, etc.)?, If you were to accomplish that, what would it mean to you and what would it enable you to do?
2) Share your opinion about the topic, you can your opinion and your experience about the subject because it will be occurred situation if the person was only talking about himself or his on opinion. Moreover, if you continued only asking questions, do not be surprised if the person asked you why you are only asking and not telling about yourself. Try not to put yourself or the other person in occurred situation so try to share your own experience and opinion to get involved in the conversation and to show more interest.
3) Another way you can summaries what the person told you, or just say the main things happened in the story. If you had an opportunity to ask for advice, people like someone asking for advice because it makes them feel interesting as well as wise.
