Pay Attention Non-Verbal Cues

Nonverbal cues are shown via an interviewees mannerisms and behaviors. These nonverbal cues can be physical or verbal however, the physical nonverbal cues matter the most during the interviewing process. It is wise for the interviewee to evaluate how their body language and manners may look to the interviewer (Tomazin, 2014). Interviewees should be mindful of how they move their hands, the tapping of feet, no eye contact, and placement of arms (such as crossing them). These body movements don’t speak confidence and capability to the interviewer (Tomazin, 2014). To make a positive impression in the interview the interviewee should smile, have eye contact, and sit properly with their back straight. Have a pleasant relaxed look and ensure a firm hand shake is given (Tomazin, 2014).
