When we communicate with others, we express our thoughts and feelings not only through the words we choose, but also through our tone of voice, facial expression and body language. In fact, many communications experts believe that far more information is communicated non-verbally (without words) than verbally (with words). “Body language” is an important part of non-verbal communication.

Body language includes many different aspects of our every day physical behaviour: the way we greet one another; how we stand, how we sit or walk; the way we position our arms and legs or use our hands and eyes are some of the most basic.

To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar, it involves learning about another culture, too. We learn much of our own culture’s body language before we learn to speak, from the time we are children, usually without even being aware of it.  And that body language varies from culture to culture, so it’s something to which second language learners should pay attention.

Sometimes I need to interview some candidates, but I have a long time not interviewed. If you work as a interviewer, you will feel very relaxed than the interviewee, because you just need to ask questions, and the interviewee need to think in a very short time, and they need to pay attention of your facial expressions. Usually we don’t express any facial expressions to show our professional work attitude. Sometimes, candidates enlarge their work experience. Maybe projects is not done by them, but it’s their responsibility for this project, so you need to use some interview skills to distinguish whether he is lying. We are interview model:STAR. The easy way to distinguish is you ask some questions, and candidate describe work experience and deep dig into their details. If they can’t answer the questions frontally, or they need a lot of time to think before they speak, we can ensure it’s not his personal experience.

Revised

Sometimes I need to interview some candidates, but it’s been a long time since I last interviewed someone. If you work as an interviewer, you will feel more relaxed than the interviewee, because you just need to ask questions, and the interviewee needs to think of an answer in a very short time, and they need to pay attention to your facial expressions. Usually we don’t express any facial expressions in order to show our professional work attitude. Sometimes, candidates exaggerate their work experience. They take credits for the entire project when they only played a small role. So you need to use some interview skills to distinguish whether or not he is lying. We have an interview model:STAR. The easy way to distinguish is to ask some questions, ask candidates to describe their work experience and deep dig into their details. If they can’t answer the questions directly, or they need a lot of time to think before they speak, we can come to a conclusion that it’s not his personal experience/ he should not be credited for the experience/ achievement.
