The body language plays a important role during interviews as the interviewer always looks for body language to find out if the person they are interviewing is good enough for them and their company. It is believed that humans naturally send and receive nonverbal communication.
Given is the list of things which you will be advised against in the interview or meeting any important client.
The Handshake: Here you hands should be clean and proper, they should not perspire. Initially you would want the interviewer to start the handshake and the firmness of the interviewer should be matched with your own while shaking hands.
Smile: Always give a smile to the interviewer and look them in the eyes. It should last between two to five seconds. When departing the interview, the handshake may last longer, smile and lean forward as you shake.

Clasping your hands behind your head
Adjusting your tie constantly
Slouching in your chair

Picking at your face or outfit
Tight smiles or tension in face
