Controlling hands & Express Emotion

Significant Steps of Successful in Job Interview
                   Remember to follow all steps and protocols that hiring manager or someone else is trying to deliver. When you sit to the chair, try to let the interviewer sit first or let them offer you to sit. Afterwards, put your documents and resume on the table, make sure to bring some extra resume in hard copies. Therefore, they can keep it for themselves or give them to assistants who are sitting in the same room with you. Put your suitcase right next to you on the floor, don’t hold it because it might seem like you are making a barrier towards them or afraid of stealing it from you. You should sit a foot away from the table, so you can control your own zone and make a comfort for both sides.
Controlling Hands
Sometimes your hands want to distract things during your interview (Johnson, 2013). However, you should always remember to keep your hands low, no higher than your chest. Nevertheless, you should limit your hand movements, and don’t let your interviewer follow your hands too much because it can lose the concentration on you. Furthermore, you can move them naturally with a right way as you express yourself, so the nervousness can go away.
Express Emotion
Show emotion and smile during the conversation, but furrow your brow if you’re talking about the issue that you have experienced before (Levin-Epstein, 2013). The job interview is always tough and tense, so the nervous smile is better than no smile at all. The interviewer always knows how nervous you are, but the smile can represent your relaxedness. Moreover, your facial expression can tell how sociable and friendly you are, and that is the reason how to cement your bond.
