    Self Projection

     It almost goes without saying that the interviewer’s first impression of you is very important.
    Whether you like it or not, many decisions are based on
     First reactions when you meet someone. Check your presentation now and be careful to avoid
    the following major presentation faults:
     The irresolute look – showing how unsure you are of where you are and what you are
    expecting, and evading eye to eye contact.
     Fiddling e.g. with hands – turn the twitch or nervous movement into a positive gesture to
    demonstrate what are you are saying positively but with style.
     Sitting – the general rule that sitting four-square in whatever chair is provided, upright and
    looking directly ahead is easiest to manage.
     Gabbling – take deep breaths before, during and after entering the interview room. Walk
    steadily to your place and take your time to sit down. Then look up, clearly waiting to be
    spoken to. Pace your words in reply, take your time to consider rather than rushing. Wait for
    the full question, and maybe follow-up ones too
