 Avoid These 5 Body Language Related 
Mistakes in an Interview

Based on wonderful article shared by Timesjobs:

1.  Looking lazy or aggressive

                                    

Do not lean back - you will look lazy. Do not lean forward- you will look aggressive. Just sit naturally - straight -you will look alert and comfortable. Also do not cross your arms. This shows defensiveness -- like you are holding yourself back.

2.  Avoiding eye contact

                                    

Look calmly at the interviewer during the conversation. Do not stare or look away while speaking. Understand that you can say a lot through eyes too.

3.  Constant nodding

                                     

Do not be in the habit of nodding and agreeing to everything the interviewer says. This shows you are more of a 'yes' person.

4.  Weak handshakes

                                       

There is nothing worse than a weak handshake to start off or end an interview. A firm handshake is a sign of authority and confidence.

5.  Looking at the clock

                                      


Some interviews can drag on for a long time. Still, if you want to have the job, avoid peeking at the wrist watch or the wall clock while you are in the middle of a conversation with the interviewer.
