Great Performance !

Body language has become a hot topic in human resources circles over the past few years. Body
language can be revealing, but sometimes an interviewer can get the wrong message entirely.

For example, some people routinely hold their chin in their palm hand when they’re contemplating
something important. But in an interview session, this kind of body language could easily be
interpreted as suggesting someone who is unfocused and inattentive.

Over the years, I’ve developed the habit of sitting with my arms crossed while carrying on a
business-related conversation. But in an interview situation, that kind of body language could be
interpreted as evidence of closed-mindedness and defensive posturing.

TIP

Make an effort to examine your own unique body language, especially during interview
sessions. Try to avoid body language that may conflict with the principles of active
listening.
