Understanding the best job interview body language control techniques
create great first impression at the Job Interview by controlling your
body language. We all feel worried at job interviews. You can beat your
competitors for the same job by exercising the day before on your job
interview body language control. Here are some body language reading
examples.
You need to practice these suggestions for 10 minutes before you walk
in to your interview. This will help you control your interview body
language.
Stay calm. Wise people are calm.
Dress to kill!
When you are to the reception area, you should ask for your contact
person be it the HR person or the manager who should be meeting you.
The receptionist will tell you to sit down, usually phrased as “please
take a seat”. If you’re wearing a coat, take it off and hand it over to the
receptionist to take care of it until you finish the interview.
Try to stand in the reception area instead of sitting. This will make you
visible to the receptionist and she will make sure that you enter to your
interview as soon as possible. When you stand, keep you hands behind
your back hand in hand. This shows confidence. If the person to meet
you keeps you waiting for more than 5-10 minutes, you need to consider
sitting while keeping yourself busy. Try to operate you PDA or mobile.
Attempt to grap the company profile which is usually in the reception
area. Show them that you don’t waste your time.
Once you are called to the interview or meeting room, walk in a fair
pace. Do switch gear at the door. Show your assertiveness and self
control.
Once you are in the office, put your folder or brief case on the table and
walk to the person meeting you to shake his/her hand. Put back the
same pressure you receive in the hand shake and keep an eye contact
straight with the person you are meeting.
When you speak, keep it short and brief. Remember the name of the
person you are meeting and repeat it in the first few minutes of you
meeting or interview.
When you sit make sure that you do not confront the person you are
meeting or being interviewed by. Keep the angle of the seat to 45
degree. This is the most non- confrontal position. Sitting round the
coffee table is good sign for you to relax as the person meeting you is
not trying to keep a space between the two of you. However, if the
person meeting you is keeping a distance, for example, sitting behind
his desk, never invade his territory.
Stay calm, think before your talk. This is a very imprtant advice of the
interview body language. Trying counting to ten before you reply to any
question. Do not interrupt the person interviewing you. Let him/her
complete the question before you answer. Do not jump to conclusion.
Remember Smart people Think before they talk.
Believe in what you say. Live up to what you say. Stay honest.
Your exit from the interview should keep the same pace you entered.
Stay calm, shake hands if possible. Close the door if the person you are
meeting is not escorting you to the door.
