What you say in a job interview is important,
but your body language may say more than you do.
Non-verbal communication is the most powerful form of communication.
So let's go over the dos and the don'ts of non-verbal communication during a job interview.
Dress professional to make the right first impression.
Make sure not to wear street clothes like jeans and T-shirts,
and also double check for those chocolate stains on your jeans.
Always greet with a handshake, no high five,
make sure not to overdo it.
Don't be too weak or too strong,
you want to mirror the other person's handshake.
Feel comfortable in your chair, look professional.
Look relaxed, but don't seem over comfortable.
You're not at home watching TV.
Sit firmly and slightly lean forward to show interest.
Make sure to maintain good eye contact.
Smile and blink at least every once in a while.
Use your hands to convey your message.
Don't exaggerate or overuse your hand motions.
Sit still on your chair.
Too much movement can show you're distracted.
Make a good last impression.
Perfecting body language takes practice.
