Making a Confident First Impression
- Have an open posture. Be relaxed, sit or stand upright and place your hands by your sides.
- Use a firm handshake. But don't get carried away - you'll likely come across as rude or aggressive.
- Maintain good eye contact. Try to hold the other person's gaze for a few seconds at a time.
- Avoid touching your face. There's a common perception that people who touch their faces while answering questions are being dishonest.
