Personal Interview
HOW TO KEEP YOUR BODY POSTURE WHILE CONDUCT OF PERSONAL INTERVIEW
Keep your head straight; forward, erect, poised and in a posture of alertness
This would signify your interest in life: This is sometimes interpreted as a gesture of submission or lack of interest in life.
Make eye contact
It is a universal phenomenon that people respond better when the person they are speaking to pays attention to them. A visible indicator of this is to look at them. Looking at a person implies making eye contact as well as pointing your head in the direction of the speaker. Not looking in the direction of the speaker can make it seem as though you are not interested in that person or what they are saying.
Timing of eye contact is equally important
Blink your eyes at regular intervals as, a long stare may be considered impolite.
Try to avoid staring into space
This may come across as uninterested, lazy behaviour. No behaviour becomes a habit until you allow it to be, and even bad habits can be got rid off by regular practice.
Always be ready to greet the IO with a smile
But also remember to act appropriately for the situation.
Relax your hands
Fold your arms one on top of the other or simply keep straight.
Keep your trunk straight and forward
Hold your body steady with legs close together
A hunched posture combined with a wide-based, foot splayed stance sends negative, meek and withdrawal signals.
