Body Language
Be aware of your body language and what it communicates. It can convey very strong messages about your energy, interest, capabilities and confidence.
• Good posture when sitting, standing and walking makes you look confident.
• How fast or slow you walk may indicate something about your levels of energy and interest: don't dawdle.
• Sitting up straight (or leaning slightly forward) and looking at your interviewer/s conveys your interest.
• Avoid distracting mannerisms, fidgeting, crossing arms and legs.
• Gestures can emphasise points you make at the interview but can also be distracting for the interviewer/s. If you "speak with your hands" make sure that this works for you, not against you.
• Maintain appropriate eye contact with interviewer/s. If it is a panel interview alternate your gaze between the interviewers.
• When answering the question, answer the person who has asked you the questions whilst including the others in your answer
• Listen carefully. Sometimes a slight nod to show that you understand is appropriate.
• Remember to smile and be yourself.
