Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sitting erect and leaning forward slightly shows that Gabrielle is engaged and interested in the position. This body language is more welcoming and can build rapport between Gabrielle and the interviewer. Using the interviewer's first name may come off as too familiar and presumptuous. Expanding her answers beyond what is necessary may bore the interviewer and waste valuable interview time. Sitting back and relaxing may appear too casual and disinterested.
