Fix body language
Reading body language?
I'm going to have to interview with 3 people - one of whom is a polygrapher (and I will have a polygraph taken after the fact) -- this person excels in also reading body language and will be watching my every move. This makes me nervous but I WANT this job - it's a great opp. Any ideas? There are body language sites but I don't see one for job interviews and experts reading YOU.......this is really important to me. Thank you!

- I have a lot of answers on this. just can't tell anyone in a place like this.
- Just be yourself. Let's say I knew how to tell you to act or behave and you followed my instructions, then you would be putting on a show. It's better to be yourself and if it's meant to be that you get the job you will get it. Be natural and spontaneous. Good luck.
- The relation of body language to animal communication has been discussed. Human para-language may represent a continuation of forms of communication that our non-linguistic ancestors already used, or it may be that it has been changed by co-existing with language. Some species of animals are especially adept at detecting human body language, both voluntary and involuntary: this is the basis of the Clever Hans effect (a source of artifact in comparative psychology), and was also the reason for trying to teach the chimpanzee Washoe to use American Sign Language rather than speech — and perhaps the reason why the Washoe project was more successful than some previous efforts to teach apes to use human language
- let me give you a little tip. dont cross your legs and when they talk lick your lips slowly and gently with your eyes looking a little dazed. from time to time drop something and pick it up but dont get on your knees, just bent those legs. this will help you get that job for sure
