What body language cues are important in Russian job interviews

The most important body language cues in Russian job interviews include:

• Maintaining appropriate eye contact to show confidence and engagement without staring aggressively.
• A genuine but moderate smile to convey friendliness and openness.
• Controlled and deliberate gestures and posture to indicate professionalism and self-control.
• Avoiding excessive fidgeting or nervous movements, which can signal insecurity.
• Balanced self-presentation that combines authentic modesty with positive self-expression.
• Nonverbal cues reflecting emotional regulation and respect for interview norms, as Russians may value modesty and sincerity in interviews.
• Careful use of facial expressions, avoiding exaggerated emotions that could be seen as insincere.

Russian employers pay close attention to these subtle nonverbal signals as part of their cultural communication style in job interviews. The goal for candidates is to project confidence, respect, and authenticity through their body language. ^{1, 2}
