in job interviews
In job interviews, what
you do with your body
can be just as
important as what you
say!
Here are some simple
tips to ensure you look
calm, confident and
engaged in your next
interview.
Slouching can make it look
like you're bored or not
interested in the job
interview.
DON'T SLOUCH
This is a defensive posture
that can make you seem
shy, insecure, annoyed or
uncomfortable.
DON'T CROSS YOUR
ARMS
MAINTAIN EYE
CONTACT
This helps you seem
friendly, confident and
interested in the interview.
You don't need to stare
directly into the
interviewer's eyes the
entire time!
BUT IT'S NOT A
STARING CONTEST...
If you have a habit of
playing with your jewellery
or shaking your leg while
sitting, you may seem
nervous or distracted.
DON'T FIDGET
Maintaining your natural
hand gestures while
speaking makes you seem
relaxed and engaged.
BUT KEEP IT
NATURAL
