How to Sit During a Job Interview &Get Hired
Sitting posture during a job interview can review whether your employer to be will hire you or not. This is because different sitting positions tell more about you.
Christine Juma 
During a job interview, you are required to sit upright. Sitting straight not only conveys confidence but will also make you feel more like a leader. Lean forward slightly and maintain eye contact. Lean forward slightly to convey that you are listening and engaged in the conversation.
During an interview, you need to show confidence in yourself to show your employer to be that you know what you're saying.
1. Maintain strong body positioning- maintain your sitting position unless otherwise.
2. Smile and try to enjoy the process- try to smile at the interviewer while listening to avoid losing the main aim of the interview.
3. Deliver your answers calmly and slowly- remember never to be harsh even if your interviewee is asking you a similar question a thousand times.
4. Avoid rambling.
5. Practice your tone of voice- Do this to void talking in a too-loud voice or too low a voice.
6. Practice your handshake-know when to shake hands and when not to.
7. Interview the employer- You may do this when he /she poses questions if you have a question with them.
8. Don't come across as desperate- Don't be desperate for the job offer or rather have high expectations.
