Everyone uses body language during the interview(whether they realize it or not), but very few think about in advance and modify(更改)their body language to produce the most positive(积极)effect．Body language is merely the smaller, less nonverbal(非言语的)cues that we give others while communicating．How to win the body language game?Following are some typical interpretations(解释)of body language cues：

　　Openness and Warmth：open-lipped smiling, open hands with palms(手掌)visible, unbuttoning coat upon being seated．

　　Confidence：leaning forward in chair, chin(下巴)up, putting tips of fingers of one hand against the tips of fingers of other hand in“praying”or“steepling”(尖塔)position, hands joined behind back when standing．

　　Nervousness：smoking, whistling, pinching(紧缩)skin, running tongue along front of teeth, clearing throat, hands touching the face or covering part of the face, pulling at skin or ear, running fingers through hair, wringing(湿的)hands, biting on pens or other objects, twiddling(抚弄)thumbs, biting fingernails(action itself or evidence of)．

　　Untrustworthy/Defensive(防卫的)：frowning(皱眉)，squinting(斜视)eyes, tight-lipped grin(裂口笑)，arms crossed in front of chest, pulling away, chin down, touching nose or face, looking down when speaking, clenched hands, gestures with fist, pointing with fingers, putting one hand into the open palm of the other, rubbing back of neck, clasping(扣紧)hands behind head while leaning back in the chair．

　　As you can see, there are far more negatives than positives－possibly more than we are consciously(有意识的)aware of．This list is given not so that you can artificially adopt the positive body language techniques, but more to help you recognize and avoid the negatives．If you have a habit of doing any of the above negatives, remove that action from your pattern of behavior before it sends the wrong signal．Concentrate on removing it now so you will not have to think about it during the interview．
