Killer #2- Slouching: What it says about you: You are unauthoritative; you lack confidence.

Killer #3- Fidgeting, rocking or swaying: What it says about you: You are nervous, unsure or unprepared.

Killer #4- Standing in place: What it says about you: You are rigid, nervous, boring -- not engaging or dynamic.

Killer #5- Keeping hands in pocket: What it says about you: You are uninterested, uncommitted or nervous.

Killer #6- Using phony gestures: What it says about you: You are overcoached, unnatural or artificial.

Killer #7- Jingling coins, tapping toes & other annoying movements: What it says about you: You are nervous, unpolished or insufficiently concerned with details.
