BODY LANGUAGE IN INTERVIEW
By: Helen Mazuva “Miss Millennium Namibia
2000”
-
HANDSHAKE: This is your first
impression on the judges. Make sure your handshake is firm and confident
(not too hard though) If your hands are cold, run them under water and
visa versa. If your hands are sweaty, run your wrist under cold water to
cool yourself off.
-
YOUR POSTURE: Stand and sit with your
shoulder back. Do not slouch.
-
MAKE EYE-CONTACT: Look interviewer in
the eye but do not stare. Avoid looking around the room or looking down.
With the case of several judges, make eye contact with each one equally.
-
CONTROL YOUR HANDS: Rest your hands
comfortably in your lap, occasional gesture are ok, but be careful not to
give half your answer in sign language
-
DON’T FIDGET
-
Don’t cross your arms, this make you
look defensive
-
Don’t cross your legs, just cross them
at your ankles
-
Open arms and hands leave the
impression that you are open and receptive.
YOUR ATTIRE
It is important to dress
professionally. Consider these tips:
Style: Do not wear any fancy
logos and designer names on the outside of your clothes and please not too
revealing and too sexy clothes, remember your going to be an ambassador and
you want to give a good impression on your interview.
Jewellery: Your jewellery
should be kept to a minimum and be simple. Do not wear dangling jewellery or
anything that makes noise. |
