Body language

It is well known that body language is a communication when people use body movements instead of sounds and verbal language. According to many specialists, body language is an important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating. One problem with body language is that it may not convey what you really feel. Because of this reason, people should pay attention how they act and look .
Moreover, body language is very important for a job interview. I would like to mention some advices. Firstly, there is no doubt that people want to feel special. They want to feel that you are speaking to them directly or that they are the most important person in the room during the conversation. Do not let anything come between you and your listeners, like crossing your arms, standing behind chair. Think openness and remove physical barriers. Also, you can make some rehearsals in front of mirror.
People can use body language to express an interest too. Firstly, people meet each other with their eyes. You can keep silence, but eyes will tell everything for you. They can express the whole range of an interest - from cold curiosity or shy interest to bold sexual appeal. One Harvard psychologist decided to measure love from scientific point of view. When he measured, how much time people in-love look at each other, he found, that those who are deeply in-love look into each other's eyes for 95% of time during conversation, while usual people look at each other for 30% - 60% of time during conversation. Smile is one of the simplest and innocent ways to show your sympathy for someone. It serves as an invitation for communication. Smile shows that you enjoy the situation. Besides, majority of people look nicer when smiling.
To sum up, it is impossible to imagine communication without using body language. People are always more likely to remember what they see, and a few seconds of body movements can be worth than an entire interview of words. Therefore, if you know body language really well, you can do magic with it. People will swear that you are reading their minds when really you are just looking at them.
