Here's how you can enhance your body language during an interview.

Face to Face interview: ? Be appropriately dressed based on the role. ? Wear a smile all the time. ? Greet and shake hands while still standing. ? Sit with your back straight. ? (Controversial) Don’t cross legs. ? Don’t fold hands. ? Use gestures of hands. ? Answer/talk with direct eye contact. No stare. ? Don’t do anything that is not natural to you. ? Be true. Virtual interview: ? Keep camera turned ON. ? Use a headset and reduce background noise. ? Take care of your background. ? Dress well. Completely, not just the top. ? Be visible at least as a portrait. ? Wear a smile. ? Greet. ? Sit straight. ? Don’t do anything that is not natural to you. ? Be true.

Enhancing your body language during an interview involves several key practices to convey confidence and professionalism. Maintain good posture by sitting up straight and leaning slightly forward to show engagement. Make appropriate eye contact to demonstrate attentiveness and sincerity. Use controlled, purposeful gestures to emphasize points without being distracting. Smile genuinely to create a positive impression and build rapport. Avoid crossing your arms or fidgeting, as these can indicate nervousness or defensiveness. By being mindful of your body language, you can reinforce your verbal responses and present yourself as a confident and capable candidate.

First impression cannot be done twice. Body language speaks louder than words. Make sure to use it for your advantage. Keep eye contact to build trust, stand and sit straight to show your confidence and smile to build warm relationships. The best way to practice your body language before an interview is to practice in the mirror or record yourself and see what could be improved.

Posture has not only an impact on how you are perceived by others, but also changes the way you feel and speak. It has been proved that straight posture gives you more confidence and lower your stress. It also helps you speak louder and sound more professional.

I find that most people actually overthink how they are coming across in interviews. Remember, interviewing is a two-way street. It is just as important that you like the company as it is that they like you! With that in mind, it should help your body be less on-edge and more relaxed. The more relaxed your posture, the more at ease and comfortable you will feel, and the better your answers will be.

Controlled hand gestures help to show confidence and passion in what you're saying. When we are in virtual interviews, it's difficult to perceive gestures other than those of the hands, so don't get too wild. Hand gestures can also be a way of containing your stress.

If you're using 2 monitors or more and your camera is focused on your profile, make sure to move your camera in front of you during the interview. We want to make eye contact, and having the camera on the side and not looking at the interviewer feels like you don't care. Think about those small things, too.

Likeability matters so much more than we think in an interview. You want to let the interviewer imagine how it's like to work with you. Don't be the angry kind, smile! If you're having a tough day and don't feel in the mood, ask to reschedule your interview. You won't get a second chance to make a good first impression.

In most cases, you want to maintain a soft smile while interviewing. Nodding your head while looking friendly when the interviewer is speaking will go a long way. Obviously if the tone is somber or otherwise serious, you would want to adjust your facial expressions accordingly, but in general you want to appear approachable and optimistic when on a call.

Lembre-se sempre de que a sua voz é uma parte importante da sua linguagem corporal. O tom, o timbre e o ritmo do seu discurso têm um papel fundamental na forma como você é percebido pelos outros. Por isso, é essencial encontrar um equilíbrio no volume da sua voz. Falar muito baixo pode passar a impress?o de falta de confian?a, enquanto uma voz alta demais pode soar agressiva. Procure um tom claro, moderado e com um ritmo calmo para transmitir seguran?a e credibilidade. Afinal, a forma como você se expressa verbalmente também diz muito sobre quem você é. N?o subestime o poder da sua voz!

Avoid doing these things: - If you have notes, don't always look at them. - If you type the questions the interviewer asks in ChatGPT or Google in the interview, we can tell you don't do it. - Having half-naked people walking behind you (yes, it has happened in one of my interviews) - Wearing a t-shirt with very questionable text - Taking the meeting in your car or other awkward space. If you have a schedule change, ask to reschedule or if it can be done via phone instead.
