Do not think because your resume great, perfect CV, there is a reference from a close friend of HRD for you and guarantee your entry into the workplace. There is one thing that is important; your body language during the interview can also make you not be called again for further processing.

Limp handshake, eye “the streets”, and hand tapping on the table during the interview are some things that can cause you to employment are not accepted. Although this sort of thing you might do it accidentally, when the interviewer capture this kind of negative nonverbal communication, he could be canceled to receive your work in his company.

The important thing is showing your confidence and professionalism. If you feel increasingly nervous during a job interview, know this is a normal thing. Practice how to speak in front of the glass, in a video, or with friends, or with a coach’s career up to you more and feel more confident.

Heather Krasna, in his book, Jobs That Matter: Find A Stable, fulfilling Career in Public Service said:

* Handshake is a close and confident without making the person who chaired hurt is a sign of confidence. Give a handshake with one hand only and swing to the up and down a little and only once. If your palms sweat, make sure you dry them before the interview begins.

* Distance and posture are also influential. When sitting on the bench, for the body in a state of well-built and slightly leaning forward, but do not bend. If you want to fold the stiff, put one above the other knee or cross your ankles. Alternatively, place both feet on the floor. Do not sit down while straightening legs or wide open. Note also how close you and the interviewer, including when standing. Too close to be considered impolite.

* Hand and arm is the one that makes the body language looks excessive. If you are the type of person who likes to talk using your hands, try a little resistance. May be used if it wanted to clarify something, but do not let that hand movement to distract the interviewer. Sat with arms crossed on his chest will also give the impression of defensiveness. Try to give the impression that you are open to the interviewer. Do not also play with your hair or pen, or biting nails.

* Eye contact is also important. Notice the eyes of the interviewer, but do not be frightened him staring at you. Staring at the floor or other areas to give the message you are not confident or feel confused. Rotate the eye upward will be considered as a sign of disrespect. Face-to-eye occasionally and in moderation, especially when he spoke.

* Expression of friendly faces will reflect that you are a person who can be invited to work together and will work enthusiastically proposed. Smile pretty friendly at the beginning of the interview and to taste the interview was over. Rarely smiles will make people rethink interview to receive you.

* Following the style of another person who was before him (mirroring) can kill your chances accepted. Imitate motion posture, expression, tone, and others from the interviewer though it is fun and casual people, will not make you welcome. Be professional!
