Abstract
This chapter describes the various signals that feet and legs convey during communication and builds a bridge to their effect and significance in the job interview. It lists ways in which the recruiter can react to specific foot positions and shows how the posture of the upper body can be used to infer the posture of the feet when seated. Finally, it is shown how recruiters can counteract disturbances on the relationship level by the movement and posture of their own feet and influence both their own attitude and their effect.
