WAY YOU WALK/ GAIT!
Do you take small steps, or giant strides? What is your most comfortable pace? Do you look at the sky, at the ground, at the buildings, or at other people as you are walking along?
How do we present ourselves? On a scale of 1 – 10?!
HAND SHAKES
• Palm down thrust : signifies dominance or aggression.
• Palm up position: shows submission by the giver.
• Glove Handshake: ‘Politician Handshake’, this is with people one is familiar with.
When it comes to handshaking and introductions:
• A. Only men should stand
• B. Only women should stand
• C. Neither men or women should stand
• D. Both men and women should stand
Interview body language• Handshake: A dry, firm hand shake reflects a strong
personality and is what most employers are looking for. Limp, sweaty hands are definitely a no. This is the first body language in the interview that your interviewer will "read".
• Hands: Do not exaggerate hand gestures when you are talking. Try answering an interview question in front of a mirror to help you understand how much you move your hands while talking.
• Eye Contact: Maintain eye contact but do not stare. If you are uncomfortable with this kind of body language look at the interviewer's nose as it has the same effect. Do not let your eyes wander away from your interviewer.
• Posture: Reflects energy, enthusiasm and self control. Stand and sit erect. Slouching does not reflect a positive attitude in interview body language.
• Fidget: Simple - do not fidget. Avoid playing with you hair, clicking pens and the like.
When you invade my space

aggressive– Retaliate
