034 Body Language For Interviews

BODY LANGUAGE FOR INTERVIEWS



Body language is very important while giving interview. Though you may be nervous and your heart has sunk into your shoes but what you cant risk is showing it by your body movements. Also you might be smartly dressed and looking confident but your body could still let you down. So carefully follow the body languages listed below and we guarantee you, you will give the right signal to the interviewer.

1. An equal handshake Your handshake should be strong and confident. If you can match the interviewer's grip it avoids any dominant/submissive vibes.

2. Relax and be at ease The way you sit conveys a lot of subtle information to the people on the other side of the desk. So sit straight and take a moment to be comfortable. If you look relaxed, it'll encourage your interviewer/s to feel at ease in your company.

3. Maintain eye contact Keep it true and steady, but remember to blink. Make sure that your gaze doesn't drop below eye level. Don't keep turning your attention to the floor or the ceiling. It might be a blank canvas for your thoughts, but it appears as if you're evading a question.

4. Steer your body If you are wearing a short skirt then crossing your legs is fine, but the best position is to 'point' at the interviewer with your knees or your feet. This shows that you're focused right in on them.

5. Use your hands Be physically expressive when you speak and use your hands to roll out your answers or give shape to your ideas. This is also a good way to control nervousness.

6. Be open Folding your arms across your chest conveys a nervous, negative and even aggressive attitude. Therefore be open in both body and mind.

Your actions speak volumes as to what is going on in your mind. The way you sit, stand, move around all show as to whether you are nervous, confused, scared or confident. Look at the following chart below and find out more about your body language.


Walking tall, erect and briskly = Confidence

Standing with hands on hips = Readiness, aggression

Walking with hands in pockets, shoulders hunched = Dejection

Hands clasped behind back = Anger, frustration, apprehension

Sitting with legs crossed, foot kicking slightly = Boredom

Sitting with arms crossed on chest = Defensiveness

Sitting with hands clasped behind head, legs crossed = Confidence, superiority

Biting nails = Nervousness

Touching, slightly rubbing nose = Rejection, doubt, lying

Stroking chin = Trying to make a decision

Pulling or tugging at ear = Indecision

Patting/fondling hair = Lack of self confidence, insecurity

Rubbing hands = Anticipation

Pinching bridge of nose, eyes closed = Negative evaluation

Tilted head = Interest

Open palm = Sincerity, openness, innocence

Tapping or drumming fingers = Impatience
