Body Language Blunders to

Avoid!

As the old saying goes “Actions speak louder than words”

The same applies to a job interview.

Here’s a list of Body Language Blunders you

should avoid!

1 – Gesturing wildly

Keep your hand gestures within the frame of your body

If they go out of your body, it looks like you're out of control

Gestures should be small and controlled

2 – Touching your face

Touching your face and fidgeting shows nervousness

Conveys the wrong messages

Also there’s a myth out there that ‘if you touch your face you're lying!’

3 – Stiff or Slouching

You want to be able to look comfortable but attentive

Don’t appear too stiff or slouched

Relax a bit so that you don’t look inflexible

4 – Folding the hands

Such a pose makes you looked reserved and very passive

Interviewers like to see someone more charismatic

Hands should be relaxed on the table or on your lap

5 – Leaning back

Leaning back in your chair shows indifference or disinterest

It also conveys you have a relaxed and casual attitude towards the interview

Conversely, leaning forward conveys interest
