18. 10 Body Language Interview Mistakes
From eye contact to posture to the way you fix your hair, avoid these 10 physical slip-ups in your next job interview.

19. 10 Body Language Interview Mistakes
1- Bad Posture
Leaning back is lazy or arrogant, leaning forward is aggressive and slouching is just lazy. Instead, experts say to aim for a neutral position, sitting tall as if a string were connecting your head to the ceiling.
2- Breaking Eye Contact
"Hold eye contact one extra eyelash," says charisma coach Cynthia Burnham. She says we tend to feel uncomfortable holding eye contact once a personal connection has been created. Don't stare, but try to hold your interviewers gaze for one extra second before breaking away. "Do this especially when shaking hands," she says.

3- Chopping and Pointing
Cynthia Burnham, a California-based charisma coach, says chopping or pointing motions can "cut up" the space between you and your interviewer in an aggressive way.
4- Crossed Arms
"Arms crossed over your chest signal defensiveness and resistance," says Karen Friedman, communications expert. "When they're open at your sides you appear more approachable."

5- Excessive Nodding
"Sometimes we undermine how powerful or in focus we are by nodding like a bobble-head doll," says Burnham, a habit that's particularly common in women. "Nod once or twice with a smile of agreement. But find your still center and stay there." 
6- Fidgeting
"Stop fidgeting!" says Amanda Augustine of The Ladders. "The nervous energy will distract the interviewer. You want [him or her] focused on what you have to say, not the coins jingling in your pocket or the hangnail on your finger.“

7- Hands Behind Back
It's important to appear approachable and open, so don't try to control gestures or fidgeting by keeping your hands still. This is especially important when you begin to speak, says Friedman. "Keeping your hands in your pockets or behind your back inhibits movement and makes you appear stiff."
8- Mismatched Expressions
"If your tone isn't matching your facial expression you could find yourself in hot water," says communications coach Matt Eventoff. "If someone asks what you're most passionate about and your face is in deadpan while you answer, it's not going to translate well."

23. 10 Body Language Interview Mistakes
9- Shifty Eyes
Friedman says distracted or upward eye movements can suggest someone is lying or not sure of themselves. "It's important to look someone directly in the eye to convey confidence and certainty."
10- Staring
"It's important to be confident and look the interviewer in the eye," says Amanda Augustine, job search expert at The Ladders. "But then break away. Locking eyes with someone for an extended period of time can be interpreted as aggressive, not to mention creepy.
