It sounds tricky doesn't it, but it is quite possible to convey a message without opening your mouth. How... through your body language.
On the same premise as the popular quote 'a picture paints a thousand words', so does your body.
Here are 8 body language tips for your next interview:
- Make a solid first impression
- Think twice before wearing new shoes
- Make eye contact
- Be responsive and listen to understand
- Remember your posture
- Be mindful of your hands
- Exit strong
Now whilst body language is important, so is being yourself. So don't try too hard, be your own authentic self because if you try to be someone you're not, you'll find that mighty difficult to keep up when you start the role! This article from The Muse, explains more.
I hope these articles are useful to you in your interview preparation.
