Step 1: Make an entrance -Take a few moments before you walk in to a room and realign your posture. Bring your shoulders back and down and put a smile on your face.

Step 2: Your handshake -Make sure you give a good, cool and firm handshake. Look the person in the eye and remember to smile at them.

Step 3: Posture - Practice sitting down in front of a mirror, in the outfit you will be wearing, to see what is going to work and what isn't.

Step 4: Hand gestures -Make sure you don't use barriers such as folding your arms as this will make you look too closed.

Step 5: Mirroring -Use mirroring to create fast-track rapport. This is achieved by slightly copying the interviewer's body language which will help you come across as more approachable.
