Most good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact. Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away. If you wear glasses, be sure to buy the non-glare lenses. Do not stare.

Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation -- if only the interviewer would let you. Slower nodding, on the other hand, emphasizes interest, shows that you are validating (确认) the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Tilting (倾斜) the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability (可接近的).

Your smile is one of the most powerful positive body signals. Everybody looks better when they smile. Offer an unforced, confident smile. Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning idiotically (白痴般地裂口笑) for the length of the interview, no matter what. This will only communicate that you are insincere (虚假的).

It’s worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness. This may be done by touching the mouth frequently; "faking" a cough when confused with a difficult question; and /or gnawing (咬) on one’s lips absentmindedly (茫然地). Employing any of these "insincerity signs" when you are asked about say, why you lost your last job, will confirm (确认) or instill (慢慢灌输) suspicions about your honesty.

When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.

    Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes    36    to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know    37  . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know   38      you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when    39   with adults, and furthermore it also     40    handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was   41     the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差错) of my    42   . The lady I spoke to was not 43    and seemed annoyed.    44   , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire  45   changed. She became far more helpful and   46   to deal with, and she   47   cutting my bill in half.

Some of my students in Harlem were to be   48   for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were   49   the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be   50   with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “  51   you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been   52   . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main   53   he made over and over was how   54    my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets   55   .
