What are the dos and don'ts of an interview?

POSTURE - Your posture can convey confidence or insecurity. Sit up straight to send a message that you are comfortable and confident.

EYES - Maintain eye contact with your interviewer and others in the room. If you focus all of your attention on one person, you will not engage other interviewers.

HANDS - Avoid fidgeting. Use your hands to express yourself in moderation.

LANGUAGE - Be clear and direct. Avoid the use of filler words such as um or like between phrases or sentences. Do not ramble. When you finish making your point, stop! Silence is acceptable.
