Seven signals for success

Here are seven general suggestions on good language for the interview.
1. Walk slowly, deliberately, and tall upon entering the room.
2. On greeting the interviewer, give a friendly «eyebrow flash»: that brief, slight raising of the brows that calls attention to the face, encourages eye contact, and (when accompanied by a natural smile) sends the strong positive signal that the interview has gotten off to a good start.
3. Use mirroring techniques. In other words, make an effort to reproduce the positive signals your interviewer sends.
4. Keep a naturally alert head position.
5. Remember to avert your gaze from time to time so as to avoid the impression that you are staring; when you do so, look confidently and calmly to the right or left; never look down.
6. Do not hurry any movement.
7. Relax with every breath.
