Does body language in an interview really matter?

Yes, When it comes to interviews, body language is extremely important. In fact, 55% of the cues we receive during a conversation come from our body language! This means that if you’re not sending the right signals with your posture, hand gestures and eye contact, you’re likely to miss out on opportunities.

You can make a solid first impression with a firm, but not iron, handshake that accompanies eye contact and a smile. Keeping arms open and uncrossed will communicate a warm and friendly message, and sitting tall with your back against the back of the seat will communicate a message of confidence.
