3. Open Gestures

Companies look for people that have soft skills -- basically meaning individuals who are empathetic and comfortable with others. Making open gestures convey those qualities, but how do we achieve openness?

1. Gesture with your full arm in the direction of your interviewer
2. Never cross or fold your arms as you will look defensive and closed
3. Avoid awkward gestures by tucking your elbows in your body
4. Avoid wrist gestures that suggest nervousness; and
5. Keep your hands open

Open gestures show others that you can buld rapport and that you are comfortable with yourself.
