When it comes to job interviews, your body language can be just as crucial, and as communicative, as your resume.
According to Benjamin Granger, chief workplace psychologist at software company Qualtrics, your posture, expression and behavior are key to making a good first impression.
“When we meet somebody for the first time, what we don’t realize fully is that our brains are at work,” he says. “They are looking at the person’s face, they’re looking at the person’s body, they’re looking at how open or closed off they are.”
Subconsciously, those nonverbal cues influence your perception of that person, Granger says.
