  1. Hand behind your back.

  2. Hands in the castle
    It would seem that hands clasped in a lock and laid on a table make you a very serious person. But the interlocutor, on the contrary, does not think so: this gesture directly indicates your closeness and unwillingness to conduct a conversation. The same is true of arms crossed on the chest.

    When you have a conversation with your ankles crossed, and as a bonus, you hide your hands in your pockets, you show insecurity in your own words. The interviewer will not listen to what you try to tell him! Hands hidden in pockets are not exactly a successful attempt to hide nervousness from prying eyes.

  5. Fists stuck in their sides
    This posture is abused by everyone and everything, often not giving it its true meaning. Her message is something like, "Well, what are you trying to tell me?" I'll still disagree.” When you have nowhere to put your hands, you should not lay them on your sides, especially folding your hands into a fist: the interlocutor will perceive you as an aggressive character, lose any disposition to the conversation and lose precious trust.

  6. Crooked smile
    For many, such a grimace has become a habit, but it is not a sign of benevolence. The interlocutor will perceive a curved smile rather as an expression of sarcasm. To make a pleasant impression and create a trusting relationship, smile sincerely and openly or not at all.

  7. Slouching posture
    The back with a hook not only harms health and does not go to anyone, but now and then shouts to others: “I am not confident in myself, I am helpless, I have nowhere worse!” The same goes for the gait. Slender posture and beautiful gait will change your appearance better than a new outfit, plus give an unprecedented self-confidence.
