BODY LANGUAGE

a) ___________________________Your body language can show what kind of person you are.
It can show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps to show if you are speaking truthfully or not.
It can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a kind person,
or it can show if you are someone who will take his or her work seriously,
but also someone who has a sense of humour. Through becoming more aware of your body language,
you can increase your chances of getting a job.

b) _____________________________An interview for a job is a very important appointment,
and arriving late for your job interview is absolutely unacceptable.
Missing the bus or getting stuck in a traffic jam are poor excuses.
It’s much better to arrive too early than even a little bit late!

c) ______________________________When you arrive, give your name at reception,
and you will probably be asked to take a seat. After a while someone will come to take you to the interview area.
Do not jump up immediately and offer this person a handshake. It is better to let the other person take the lead.
Shake hands firmly, but not too powerfully and look straight at the other person.
After this you will be introduced to the (other) members of the application committee.
With each greeting look directly at the other person, and say your name.

d) ______________________________Try to show that you are relaxed.
You can do this by sitting up straight with your back against the back of the chair.
If you slouch, it might give the impression that you are not interested in the job.
Sitting on the edge of your chair can come across as being a little tense,
and you might come across as looking uncomfortable.

e) _______________________________During a job interview, don’t fold your arms.
If you do this, you might look defensive. 
It is better to let your hands relax in your lap or place them on the armrests of the chair.
