10 Annoying Things For Recruiters During A Job Interview
Job seekers spend a lot of time preparing their responses for job interviews. What about body language? In a
recent survey of managers, The CareerBuilder site has identified 10 fatal actions for the interviewed candidates.
Overview of Results.
WHMIS
1. The fleeing eyes (72%)
Interview Techniques The eyes are the best way to inspire a sense of confidence, but they must meet those of the interlocutor. The
shifty eyes are by far, the biggest body language mistake committed during an interview. Tip: Try to observe the
Worker Health and eye color of each person you shake hands with.

2. The lack of smile (44%)
With a straight face, it’s hard to look friendly. The absence of a smile in a candidate disturbs almost half of
managers. Smiling provides a positive effect on the person itself and also to whom it’s addressed.
3. Fiddle with something on the table (38%)
4. Consistently moving on a chair (38%)
5. Crossed arms (37%)
Crossed arms are known as a sign of closure.
6. Poor posture (34%)
Our mothers kept repeating, "Straighten your back !", because a slumped posture gives a bad impression.
7. Playing in your hair or touching your face (26%)
8. A weak handshake (19%)
Confidence and dynamism are assets during an interview; this is why a weak handshake gives the opposite
impression. A study by a psychology professor, William F. Chaplin (2000) has also shown that women who had
a firm handshake were "more liberal, intellectual and open to new experiences." The women who were offering
a weaker handshake were perceived to be less positive than those who shook hands with energy.
9. Hand gesturing (9%)
Gesturing conveys enthusiasm and energy to your audience but be careful not to overdo it; it might irritate the
interviewers.
10. Excessive handshake (8%)
In a study published in 2006, Jennifer Irving-McGrath of the Dublin Business School, observed a link between a
crushing handshake and an outgoing, strong, and even aggressive personality.
Briefly: Stand straight, smile, breathe deeply in and out and everything should be fine.
