IMPORTANCE OF BODY LANGUAGE: Body language to AVOID ~ Don’t wait in reception with your legs stretched out, feet crossed and hands clasped behind your head… this can signal a casual, ‘am I bothered?’ attitude! ~ Are you sitting comfortably? Lounging with arms and legs dangling will suggest you’re a little TOO relaxed about an interview you should be taking seriously. ~ Try not to show how tense you are. Tightly clutching a handbag or briefcase suggests a nervous candidate, not a confident, cool-headed character. ~ You’ve heard this one before but it’s worth repeating: crossing your arms can be interpreted as defensive. ~ An iron grip can imply arrogance but a limp handshake might suggest weak character. ~ Beware of moving your feet up and down repeatedly in a nervous manner - it’s a sign of boredom, even if you don’t mean it to be. ~ Resist the urge to touch your face or play with your hair when you speak, this suggests you’re lying.
