Five positive Body Language
The term “body language” includes just about any manner, gesture, or posture that conveys meaning to the observer. Body language is especially meaningful in an interview as your interviewer will be paying as much attention to nonverbal cues as to what you have to say.
Project 1: BodyLanguageChallenge
Goal: To do your own research on what makes good body language and then take pictures of yourself modeling 5 different poses of positive body language (for an interview).
1: Steepling with Hands:
“steepling” with hands conveys confidence , wisdom and positive agreement
2 Relax posture:
While giving a interview make sure that you are sitting in a comfortable manner .Close posture reflects that you are defensive or negative attitude .More open posture reflects that open attitude.Relax posture close posture.Sitting up straight sends a message of smartness, confidence and credibility
3: smiling:
Small changes in body language can effect big changes in how you feel — and think. Body Language is probably the most expensive and cheapest thing that you wear, you can easily wear a smile, because it doesn’t cost a thing BUT you can also cost you your job
4 : Solid Eye contact
When an interviewer is speaking, one of the most important things you can do is to maintain almost 100% eye contact. Failure to make eye contact — or worse — staring out into space, looking down or not paying attention, makes people seem less confident and fearful of the interview.
But it’s equally important to know when to break eye contact, which can be just as big of a nonverbal cue when you’re the speaker as it is when someone else is. In typical conversation, you’re making eye contact about 60% of the time, It’s normal to look away from time to time as you speak because it shows you are processing information in your brain. If you don’t look away while answering question.
5: How you are sitting matters a lot
There are certain positions which you should be aware of while giving interview. Leaning a bit forward position or too much leaning backward shows you are not listening attentively poised and relax position will be much effective and it reflects that you are very confident.
The three position is been illustrated in pictured
