Here's how you can use body language to make a positive impression during an interview.

While first impressions are important it's equally important to be authentic in how you're presenting yourself. We tend to over think things to ensure we're checking off the list of everything you should do right in an interview. If you show up as you in a professional setting your first impressions will always be great.

There are lots of attributes that can be put in consideration regarding the first impression not only inside the interview room but also before it, first impression starts by arriving soon, don't arrive so early so you put burden on the HR going to make the interview with you, and don't come 5 minutes prior the interview so you get nervous so won't be able to leave impression

Make eye contact and smile to show confidence. Sit up straight and lean in slightly to express interest. Use hand gestures naturally to emphasize points.

Body language is important in making a good impression in an interview. Smiling and following office rules can make the interviewer like you to know more. It's important to listen and look at the interviewer to understand what they want. An interview is about personalities and skills, and knowing about human behavior can help you succeed.

During interviews, I find that using hand gestures sparingly helps convey confidence and clarity. It's important to strike a balance between being expressive and not overly animated, as this can distract from the conversation. Resting your hands calmly when not gesturing shows composure and readiness to listen, which are also important signals to convey.

The way you position yourself can say a lot about your engagement and comfort level during an interview. Leaning slightly forward signals eagerness and active participation, demonstrating your interest in the conversation. Conversely, slouching or leaning back might unintentionally convey disinterest or overconfidence. Keeping both feet grounded helps maintain a sense of balance and composure, reflecting professionalism

Facial expressions are curial and vital thing, anyone should take care of, its okay to be nervous and the HR themselves know that, so if you showed a little nervous its totally fine but the issue here comes when you are giving a poker face, Interview is 70% personal judgement so if you give the HR poker face because you are nervous the won't recommend, however you need to be neutral giving a light smile showing the HR that you are friendly and professional at the same time, so you feel comfort and be able to express you technical and interpersonal skills

Listening Actively is 100% the key of managing the interview to your side, if the interviewer asking a question and they found an answer which very far away from the question topic you will be highly marked down listening and communication skills
