In an interview, it is not always just what you say that is important, but also how you say it and how you look when you are saying it. Despite answer all questions throw at you with precision and confidence, if your body language is weak, your overall image may be perceive in this way, too. In order to make sure you physical actions and gestures are convey the right message, here are a few dos and don'ts to keep in mind. They alone will not win you the big job, but they can certainly help or hurt your chances of getting it.
1. … enter the room confidently. When meet your interviewer for the first time, hold your head up, put on a smile, and be sure you look enthusiastic. Interviews are not fun, but if you go into it anticipate torture, this attitude will be reflect in your body language.
2. … shake hands like a dead fish. A handshake can say a lot about a person. It has to be firm, not timid and limp. In the same respect, do not overdo it. You surely do not want to be remember as someone who broke the interviewer's fingers!
3. … swing your legs, tap your feet, twirl your hair, wring your hands, or bite your fingernails. These actions demonstrate lack of confidence and fear and can be extremely distract. You want to make sure your interviewer concentrates on your great answers, not your fidgety behaviour.
4. … pay attention to your posture. It sounds elementary, but sit up straight and have good posture will tell your interviewer that you are confident and have a strong personality, while slouch will paint you as lazy and weak. As uncomfortable as you might be in that business suit, sit up straight and keep your head up.
5. … cross your arms in front of your body. Sit with your arms cross in front of you indicates defensiveness, resistance, aggressiveness or a closed mind. Use your hands to be expressive when you are talk. When the interviewer is speak, keep your hands fold in your lap, rest on the arms of your chair, or in another position that is lower than your elbows.
6. … make and keep eye contact. Fail to make eye contact with your interviewer will keep you from truly connect with him or her, and might make you seem shy or even evasive. Yes, make eye contact can be uncomfortable, but it is an important tactic. Similarly, try to utilize other body expressions that demonstrate interest, such as nod when the other person is make a point.
7. … change positions often. The key thing is to find a position for your legs. Constant shift is distract. Rest your ankle on your knee will come across as too casual and even overconfident.
8. … pay attention to your tone of voice. Just like your physical motions, your tone of voice says a lot about you. Questions should be answer in a strong, consistent tone. Avoid talk too softly, mumble or speak too quickly. Before answer a question, take a breath, think for a second, and then begin to speak. This will help you calm your nerves and will give you the opportunity to "look before you leap" when it comes to your important answers.
