The Interview
Body Language, Voice, and Presence
What you'll learn
- →Master the first 30 seconds: handshake firmness, eye contact duration, posture — the moves that set the entire tone.
- →Understand that body language is communicating before you say a word.
- →Practice the three-second rule: hold eye contact long enough to feel intentional, not long enough to feel weird.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Tomorrow, in a low-stakes interaction (a barista, a coworker, a stranger holding a door), practice a 3-second eye contact moment with a small smile. It feels long the first time. By the third try it feels natural. That's the interview muscle.

“What does your body do under pressure — does it shrink, freeze, or get fidgety? What would you want it to do instead?”
