Whether you are aware of it or not, your body language conveys a message about your confidence, competence, and personality.
Which can influence how others perceive you, especially in job interviews.
So, here are 5 points on how to use your body language to make a great impression in job interviews:
➡️ Strong Handshake
▪️ When interviewing in person, offer a firm handshake, not too strong or weak. This shows your enthusiasm and sets a positive tone.
➡️ Maintain Eye Contact
▪️ Maintaining steady but natural eye contact with the interviewer conveys confidence, interest, and honesty.
➡️ Sit and Stand Taller
▪️ Good posture projects confidence and attentiveness, so stand or sit up straight with your shoulders back.
➡️ Smile and Be Open
▪️ Greet the interviewer with a warm smile with keeping your arms relaxed by your sides, which signals openness and approachability.
➡️ Gestures and nodding
▪️ Use natural hand gestures to emphasize points, but avoid excessive movements.
▪️ Nodding occasionally shows that you’re engaged and understanding.
Your success in the interview will depend on your ability to read and respond to the interviewer’s nonverbal cues, as well as to master them. If you can do that, you’re well on your way to acing your interview and showcasing your best self.
