here are some body language's you need to look out for and correct especially during a job interview... 1. Leaning back too much, makes you come off lazy or arrogant.  2. Breaking eye contact too soon can make you seem untrustworthy or overly nervous. Hold eye contact a hair longer, especially during a handshake.  3. Nodding too much can make you look like a bobble head doll! Even if you agree with what’s being said, nod once and then try to remain still.  4. Chopping or pointing with your hand feels aggressive.  5. Crossing your arms makes you feel defensive, especially when you are answering questions. When they're open at your sides you appear more approachable.  6. Fidgeting, instantly telegraphs how nervous you are. Avoid it at all costs.  7. Holding your arms behind your back (or firmly inside your pockets), can look rigid and stiff. Aim for a neutral posture, i.e. hands at your side posture.  8. Looking up or looking around is a natural cue that someone is lying or not being themselves. Try to hold steady eye contact.  9. Staring can be interpreted as aggressive. There’s a fine line between holding someone’s gaze and staring them down.  10. Failing to smile can make people uncomfortable, and wonder if you really want to be here. Go for a genuine smile especially when meeting someone for the first time.  11. mismatched expression i.e If someone asks what you're most passionate about and your face is in deadpan while you answer, it's not going to translate well.  feel free to add urs  Cc: lalastica 2 Likes |
