Verbal: Ensure that what you say align with your nonverbal cues. For example, dont be talking about a hardship that you have went through in your life and give off smiles and looks of enthusiasm.

Nonverbal: Your body language should be a complement to what you're saying. So have your body language and nonverbal cues complement your verbal cues, not override them.

Contradict

Verbal: Avoid conflicting statements whether it's a mess up in explaining the previous timeline of former employers or telling the interviewer that you had a 3.4 GPA when it says 3.6 on your resume. It can make you look not only unorganized but untrustworthy in some cases.

Nonverbal: Be aware of unintentional body language that might contradict your words. For example, you could be explaining that you are a very positive addition to a healthy work environment, but that may be hard for the interviewer to belive when you're slouched over and not smiling.

Control

Verbal: Speak with authority and confidence, but also be courteous of the interviewers questions and follow their format of interview.

Nonverbal: Use confident body language, such as standing tall and maintaining an open posture. Control nervous habits like tapping your foot or twiddling your thumbs. I can definitely say there have been many times where I tap my foot in situations that make me anxious.

Repeat

Verbal: Reinforce key points in the interview by repeating them in a way that doesn't sound repetitive. Repetition helps in retention and emphasizes the importance of certain information.

Nonverbal: Repeat the gestures you use such as smiling, keeping a positive demeanor, and good posture.

Substitute

Verbal: Use alternative words to express your information. A varied vocabulary can make your communication more engaging and will retain better in the interviewers head, and can make you stand out amongst your competition.

Nonverbal: Experiment with different nonverbal cues to convey your message effectively. Adapt your body language to suit interviewer and the environment you are in.
