etc.

19. All the communication is not words. Before you even
say a word in a job interview, your body language has
already given people the first impression of you.
Pay attention to the way you speak, your expressions
and body language. You should also be able to read the
interviewer’s body language in order to tune your
movements to those of the interviewer, mirror them,
because that can be a way of indicating you are open
and honest.

20. The following should be paid attention to:
-Let the interviewer take initiative with handshake.
Shake hands firmly but not too powerfully, look
straight at the person.
-Try to keep the tone of voice relaxed and calm,
projecting confidence and interest.
-Speak with intensity, remember timing and pace, do
not make any uncomfortable sounds.
-Keep eye contact throughout the interview but keep
it natural, showing interest, not too intense. If there
are several interviewers, look straight at each of
them at the time they speak.
-Your facial expression should show that you are
emotionally present and interested. Smile if
appropriate.

21. -Hold a good posture, relax your shoulders and jaw.
Sit with your back straight and against the back of
your chair and legs slightly (but not awkwardly) open
which is a relaxed position, showing you are
comfortable. Avoid shuffling with your feet or
making any restless movements while sitting. It is all
right to change your body posture a little during the
interview, for example, if someone is speaking, you
can show you are interested by leaning forward a
little, turning your shoulders towards the person and
tilting your head a little.
- Nodding your head means you are listening and
encouraging the person to go on.

22. - In general, your hands should not be too active,
under your body or in pockets, fiddling with anything,
touching your face often, or arms crossed (sending out
negative, defensive message).
Clasp your hands gently together and keep them on
the table.
Don’t worry about being a little nervous- that means
getting the job is important to you!
By becoming aware of your own body language and
recognizing the body language of others you can have
better chances of getting the job!

company, show what you know. Be prepared to make
some questions.

time to calm down.
