6. DON'T: Sit facing your interviewer straight on as if it's a showdown. DO: Angle your chair slightly. Sitting straight on is unnatural and, frankly, uncomfortable. Promote a more relaxed, natural discussion by slightly angling your chair to the side when you sit down. 7. DON'T: Cross your arms. DO: Almost anything else. Crossing your arms is a sign you're either resistant to the discussion or insecure with the topic at hand. Either is a big no-no for an interview. Avoid at all costs. 8. DON'T: Hunch your shoulders. Your mother taught you better. DO: Sit up straight with your chest *slightly* forward. This is an example of "open" posture, while hunched shoulders are "closed. " 9. DON'T: Smile too much. Or frown too much. DO: Mirror your interviewer's facial expressions. Most people do this subconsciously. By mirroring your interviewer's facial expressions, you're more likely to match their energy and enthusiasm for the role and convince them you'll fit seamlessly into their team. DO: Keep your mouth and jaw relaxed.
Using the correct body language during an interview is essential to your success. Body language communicates a lot of information about you, no matter what words come out of your mouth. Employers pay attention to how you dress and behave during the interview process because they want to get a better sense about you as a person in general. Body language is so important - an employer may decide to hire if you present yourself properly, but they may also decide not to hire if you if you have poor body language. Here are some tips about body language during an interview. 1. Firm Handshake The first thing you should do is give a firm handshake to the interviewer. A weak handshake will have a poor reflection on you and it may make people see you untrustworthy or unreliable. There is no need to crush the interviewer's hand, but the handshake should be firm and show you are alive. 2. Good Posture Good posture will show the interviewer that you are prepared, professional, and confident. Sit straight in the chair and keep your head high as you walk.
'Actions speak louder than words. ' This phrase is very true in case of a job interview. Whether you go for a walk in interview as a young graduate or attend a panel interview for a vice president's post, nonverbal communication is as important as verbal communication. "Your body communicates as well as your mouth. Don't contradict yourself", is a famous saying. Let's understand a few body language tips that will help you in your job interview. Make yourself comfortable As soon as you enter the office, make yourself comfortable. If there is some time left for the interview to begin, sit in the lobby calmly. Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down. Have a firm handshake A firm handshake depicts confidence. Practice a handshake well before an interview. A 'dead fish handshake' leaves a negative impact on the interviewer. Maintain a straight posture Sit firmly and lean your back straight against the chair. Rest your arms on the arm rest. Don't lean or rest your hands on the table. Arms crossed over your chest often signal defensiveness and resistance.
Maintain eye contact Try to maintain proper eye contact, but avoid staring at the interviewer. If there are many people on the interview panel, face each one of them while answering their respective questions. Avoid looking at your wrist watch or your mobile phone. Smile whenever possible A Smile is the most important accessory that you can wear. It is the easiest way to get the interviewer's attention. But, don't keep grinning. Avoid fidgeting Fidgeting can distract the interviewer. It is essential that you stay focused on the interview. It is advisable to keep your bag on the adjacent chair or below the table and keep your folder on the table. Don't run your fingers through your hair. Correct hand movements are important Body language experts suggest that hand movements can leave a positive impact on people. Keeping your hands hidden can be misinterpreted as distrustful behavior. Show interest Listen carefully to the questions before you answer. Try to nod when the interviewer is talking or explaining something to you.
Do not let the interviewer see you slouched in the chair while you are waiting, so stay on your best behavior even when you think they are not watching. The secretary that you encounter before the interview may even take some notes about you before you even realize it. 3. No Fidgeting Fidgeting makes you seem nervous and it can show a lack of self-esteem and confidence. Although you probably are nervous during the interview, it is best that you try your best not to show it. Do not tap your feet, play with your hair or nails, or rock in the chair before or during the interview. 4. Strong Eye Contact Always maintain strong eye contact during the entire interview. A lack of eye contact can ruin your interview because it can make you seem untrustworthy. Simply look the interviewer in the eye while they are speaking and nod your head to acknowledge that you are listening to them. 5. Smile Smiling can really help you during the interview because it can make you seem more friendly and likable.
Ask questions, if possible. Take the lead and give authority in the conversation. Be polite Focus on keeping your tone of voice even and polite. Very low voice may sound timid, whereas very loud may seem dominating. Avoid being aggressive during the interview. Leave on a positive note Say a polite 'goodbye' before you leave. Shake hands with the interviewer at the end. Even if the interview did not end on a good note or you don't plan to take up the job, don't show dissatisfaction. The recruitment agency may arrange an interview for you with the best of the companies, but clearing the interview is your task. It is very important to realize that right body language plays a major role during a job interview. The interviewer is quick to judge you. Hence, you should strive to build a positive image within a few minutes.
