1. PROPER FACIAL EXPRESSION
The following facial expressions will demonstrate a positive attitude
during your job interview;
– Smile
– Keep eye contact
– Laugh (when appropriate)
– Pause and look away – to demonstrate you are thinking about the
question
– Relax – keep your facial expressions natural and let them occur on
their own. If you force a smile it will look wrong.

BE HIRED FOR THE JOB
BASED ON THEIR FACIAL
EXPRESSIONS?
2. PROPER HAND GESTURES
a. Press the fingertips of your hands together to form a
church steeple. This is a display of confidence.
2. PROPER HAND GESTURES
b. Show your palms. According to Molidor and Parus, this gesture
indicates sincerity.
DO NOT CONCEAL YOUR HANDS!!!
• (like by putting them in your pockets).
When you keep your hands out of sight, according to Molidor and
Parus, it looks like you have something to hide. This includes
keeping your hands in your lap or behind your back.
3. PROPER SITTING POSITION
 NON-VERBAL
• Always offer your hand; use a firm, but not
crushing handshake.
• Use eye contact without staring; avoiding contact is a sign of
deception, disinterest, or lack of confidence.
• If a place of sitting is not indicated, choose a chair closest to
the interviewer.
• Sit relaxed, but do not slouch. Leaning slightly forward shows
interest, but do not lean on desk or knees.
• Use hands naturally to emphasize a point; do not cover
mouth, hold your head or twist hands.
