‘Toujours’ must stay before the adjective; placing it after changes the meaning.
Comment montrer que on est toujours intéressé ?
Do not separate the contraction; ‘que on est’ is grammatically correct but sounds overly formal in spoken French.
Comment montrer qu'elle est toujours intéressé ?
If the subject is feminine (e.g., ‘elle’), the adjective must agree: ‘intéressée’. Using the masculine form with a feminine subject is a common error.

Cultural Tip
In French, the informal pronoun ‘on’ is often preferred over ‘nous’ in spoken language, especially when giving advice. However, in formal writing you might replace ‘on’ with ‘nous’. Also, showing interest is usually done subtly; overt enthusiasm can be perceived as insincere, so balance your gestures with genuine, specific comments.
