Some Body Language Blunders You Should know Before Your Next Job Interview by Tapout(m): 8:59am On Sep 02, 2014 |
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 |
