I still remember the early coachings which i got from my father ( Marketing Person), about the importance of body posture. According to him the most important factor for being a successful marketing person was the body language. He always used to say, when you are appearing for interview, the very first thing you ask the permission to enter the room even it is understood that you have to enter the room for interview. Take permission to sit down. The very first posture of sitting is upright. The shake hand has to be firm, neither loose nor very tight. The pitch of the voice should not be very loud , nor it should be so low that it's simply unaudible. While in sitting position both the hands should be on your lap in listening mode. never put the hands on the table which is in front of you. As very rightly mentioned in the article, eye contact is very important, it reflects the confidance of the candidate. while leaving the room never turn abruptly & leave the room. Have a shake hand, take two or three steps back while facing the interviwer & then turn sideways & left the room. Regard Saumitra Yadav Nice Article.

Telemarketing companies do tell their telemarketers to have a mirror on their desk and be watchful of their facial expressions as they talk. You can do a little experiement yourself and take a call from a friend lying on your sofa or leaning back on your seat. Your call can "feel" your relaxed posture.

A positive body language then not only influences the interviewer but also the interviewee - since it translates into confidence, which is apparent in your voice!

It is very usefull information. As a young martial artist, I never had to look for a job opportunity. I made sure I'm skilled in what I do, need to do. I was called, asked for almost 90% of the jobs I did. After a back-injury through a medical failure, I temporarely lost my abilities to teach & after a few years of recovering, there was little left from my past credibility. Having nomore clean, oneway-resume ever since,I had a hard time to be self-confident & talk straight. Despite the skills I still have, I was always chosen, but didn't make it in the end. After reading your post, I realised there's something to learn here, & improve my present chances in forthcoming opportunities. I'm more conscious about the impressions left in an interview, observed from the other side. Especialy the leaving is a weak point in my interviews, a weakness, the unconscious, expressing a lack of confidence at the end of the ride. I understand better how to improve my chances now. Time to practice. Domo arigato gozaimasu, Steven Segers Dear Jenny,
