You might say all the right words in an interview; however, interviewers are evaluating more than just what you say, they’re also sizing up your non-verbal communication. Your non-verbal communication, body language and voice tone, play a big part in whether you are viewed favorably during an interview. Pay close attention to your non-verbal behaviors, such as:
Hand shake: It should be firm but not over-powering.
Posture: Sit upright and lean slightly forward. This will convey confidence and that you are engaged in the conversation..
Hands: Keep your hands either folded in your lap or calmly placed on top of the table or desk.
Eye contact: Use regular and direct eye contact. It is fine to glance away or down at your notes, but do so only when there is a break in the conversation. And if there is more than one interviewer in the room, be sure to make eye contact with others.
Tone and voice: Use a varied tone that is genuine but not overly excited. Be sure to speak clearly and at a comfortable pace.
And remember most importantly, smile. Show them you're actually enjoying the interview experience.
