How maintain Body Language during Interview

Penulis : Unknown on Thursday, 30 May 2013 | 06:11:00



  • Sit up straight, and lean slightly forward in your chair. In addition to projecting interest and engagement in the interaction, aligning your body's position to that of the interviewer's shows admiration and agreement.


  • Show your enthusiasm by keeping an interested expression. Nod and make positive gestures in moderation to avoid looking like a bobblehead.


  • Establish a comfortable amount of personal space between you and the interviewer. Invading personal space (anything more than 20 inches) could make the interviewer feel uncomfortable and take the focus away from your conversation.


  • Limit your application of colognes and perfumes. Invading aromas can arouse allergies. Being the candidate that gave the interviewer a headache isn't going to do anything in your favor.


  • If you have more than one person interviewing you at once, make sure you briefly address both people with your gaze (without looking like a tennis spectator) and return your attention to the person who has asked you a question.


  • Interruptions can happen. If they do, refrain from staring at your interviewer while they address their immediate business and motion your willingness to leave if they need privacy.


  • Stand up and smile even if you are on a phone interview. Standing increases your level of alertness and allows you to become more engaged in the conversation. 


  • A Live Testimony:-

                    My HR interview just happened for 5 minutes but that were the worst 5 minutes. The only thing he did during those 5 minutes was finding mistakes in me.
         As I entered he made me wait for 2 minutes without asking me to sit. Later he started talking to his colleague and in between said “please sit down”. He then opened up my profile and started finding mistakes. I had placed a thing under wrong heading I my resume. I got an earful for that. Then he pointed out that I had affixed a picture of mine wearing T-shirt and gave a lecture on professionalism and said that u have come for an interview and not for a marriage proposal. He said this is the problem with people they do not do things properly. I didn’t know what to do. I just kept giving him a cold smile. He then asked me the distance from my house to TCS and from my house to my college. He then asked me to leave.
            I don’t know whether he did so to test my patience or was he really mad at me. But that’s how it all ended. Hope it’s helpful for you all. All the best
