How you present yourself visually, through body language and attitude, can be just as influential as what you say. Your enthusiasm, level of interest, sincerity, openness, and warmth help create the “chemistry” that often determines a hiring decision. Aim to come across as engaged, confident, and approachable.

Simple behaviors make a meaningful difference. Nodding occasionally shows understanding and encourages the interviewer to continue. Maintaining steady eye contact conveys confidence and trust. A firm handshake, where appropriate, signals professionalism and genuine interest. Finally, follow the interviewer’s lead before sitting, and when seated, maintain good posture with both feet on the floor to project attentiveness and respect.
