Cracking your knuckles, playing with your hair, biting your nails and lip all fall under the examples of a nervous gesture.
While these little nuances may be okay to do in the comfort of your home, displaying these nervous habits in front of your boss or colleagues may lessen your credibility and make others believe you’re anxious or incompetent.
And even though you know this is not the case, it’s best-practice to steer clear of these little mistakes. Ask a friendly colleague to point out when you’re unconsciously doing any of these nervous cues.
The less jittery you are, the more calm and confident you may appear — which is always win-win in our books.
