So much of human communication is non-verbal that we almost forget the importance of it. In fact a recent study has suggested that 93% of daily communication is actually non-verbal, this includes things such as facial expressions, body language and posture.

In an interview situation where someone is trying to make a good impression it’s important that all of these things are taken into account when trying to present yourself.

Facial expressions – it’s important to have an open face, this means that your face stays relaxed with a naturally smile that is not obviously put on or un-natural looking. People with an open expression often come across as warm and friendly, honest and open.

Body language – this should also look quite open, avoid folding your arms as this can look defensive and also avoid any fidgeting as it can make you look over nervous and uncomfortable.

Posture – you should always try to maintain good posture throughout an interview, avoid slouching or slumping as this can make you look disinterested and give the impression that you don’t care.
