BODY LANGUAGE FOR INTERVIEW Body language is part and parcel of oral communication. In fact, when we communicate orally to someone, our body language speaks much earlier than our words. For example, the interviewers may perceive your behavior on the basis of the manner you enter the interview room. Therefore, understanding of how you can reinforce your spoken words through your body language is very important.

Body language consists of gestures (movement of different arts of body), postures (body positions), and facial expressions by which a person manifests various physical, mental, and emotional states and communicates non-verbally (without using any word) with others. In some instances, communication takes place through body language alone. Look at how dumb communicate among them without using a word; how a news reader conveys news meant for dumb without using a single word; how Bharatnatyam dancer conveys the meanings through her actions from different parts of body. In the case of an interview, body language can be as stand alone, for example, when you are answering a question, you can make out easily by looking at the facial expression of the interviewer whether he is happy with your answer or not. However, in the interview. Body language is also combined with spoken words from both sides- interviewers and interviewees. When both of these are combined, they put emphasis on certain things that is, differentiating things that are more important than others which are usual. Examples of appropriate body language are given below: “thank you very much sir. I am grateful that all of you have encouraged me to speak about myself well.
