INTERVIEW CODE:
7 STEPS OF BODY LANGUAGE
FOR AN INTERVIEW
STEP 1
 The moment you walk into the office, you are
immediately being judged.
 Make sure that you walk in with confidence.
 Keep your posture in check and be ready to give a
good, strong handshake to anyone you meet.
STEP 2
 Eye contact is key.
 Make sure to keep eye contact with the person interviewingyou.
 If multiple people are in the room, look around the room at the
other people and then direct your attention back at the person
that asked the question.
 EYE CONTACT shows that you are confident and prepared.
 Be remember not to stare!
STEP 3
 Relax.
 Everyone knows how nerve-racking an interview is.
 Sit in a relaxed, but not sloppy, manner to show that
you are confident.
STEP 4
 Point your feet and knees toward the interviewer.
 This shows them that you are engaged and interested in
what they are saying.
 Facing your feet toward the door can tell interviewers that
you are uninterested and ready to leave.
STEP 5
The Ring or ‘OK’ Gesture The ’OK’ meaning is
common to all English-speaking countries and it
means "All correct".
STEP 6
 DON’T FIDGET! Whatever you do, don’t play with your hair,
click a pen or wiggle your hands and feet during an
interview.
 Fidgeting tells the interviewer that you uncomfortable and
not confident.
STEP 7
 Don’t get too comfortable.
 Leaning back in your chair may suggest that you are overly
confident.
 Lean forward in your chair at key points in the interview to
show your interest.
 Leaning forward too often could be kind of scary but doing it at
just the right times in an interview can really make a difference.
