Stand straight

Do not slouch or slump your shoulders and make the constant effort of standing in an upright position. Stand tall with your chin up and with your spine straight to feel and look confident.

Stop fidgeting

Let go of your inhibitions and resist the urge to fix your hair or adjust your clothes. Be sure of yourself and your appearance and stand calmly and still.

Maintain Eye contact

This is the most effective way to appear confident. Maintain eye contact with people to show that you are focused and remember to blink and take breaks to not appear as a serial killer!

Smile

A simple, genuine smile goes a long way. Even if you are nervous as hell from inside, smile and keep a calm and relaxed demeanour.  

Allow the awkward silence

Long pauses can be nerve-wracking. Don’t nervously babble continuously to avoid these silences. Learn to enjoy them and get used to them to let the conversation sink in.
