Answer:
Mock Interview with James
Feedback on sending positive nonverbal messages:
1. Instead of slouching in the chair, James should sit upright with square shoulders that exhume trust.
2. James must keep his hands uncrossed, make them visible, and sometimes gesture with them to convey his message directly.
3. Effective physical gestures include the purposeful use of eye contact, occasional smiles, and nodding to convey understanding of the other's messages.
4. At an interview, multitasking is not a good nonverbal gesture. Lack of interest in the subject under discussion can signal to the interviewer that you have more important businesses to attend. This is why fiddling with any object is not an effective physical gesture.
Explanation:
Observations by Martha:
James was slouching in his chair: lack of self-confidence
Sitting with his hands crossed: lack of focus and relaxation
Avoiding eye contact: lack of attention and effective physical gestures
Fiddling with his phone: multitasking at the wrong time shows lack of interest.
