Tip (Sit tall, look, smile): Confidence: sitting up straight, a firm and brief handshake, a calm steady voice, relaxed open hands. Nervousness: biting nails, shaking a leg, a shaky quiet voice, touching your face a lot. Interest: leaning forward a little, nodding, eyes on the speaker, a small warm smile. Boredom: yawning, slumping, checking the clock, a blank stare. In an interview: upright with feet flat, hands resting in your lap, eyes on the person asking. Nervous? Slow breaths, feet still.
