More about interviewing a pastor

Use the right body language at employment interviews

Here's one of the most important tips for interviews -- maintain eye contact when speaking to or listening to the interviewer. If you don't, you'll look disinterested. And that one fact may be enough to spoil your chances for building a career with that company.

Here are some body language tips for job interviews.

Remain relaxed and calm. Avoid fidgeting in your seat, because that shows low confidence.
Biting your lips is often interpreted as a sign that you're unsure of what you're saying. Avoid it.
Be aware of your hand gestures and don't use your hands to make a point. It distracts and conveys a negative impression.
Use an open posture -- don't sit with your hands crossed or your legs crossed.
Shrugging your shoulders in response to a question is always a no-no. If you're unsure of what to say, take a few seconds to think of a response.
Nodding or shaking your head does not constitute an answer to a question. Use verbal replies.
Avoid yawning in front of the interviewer. Get enough sleep the previous night. Be fresh and alert at meetings.
