Sitting and leaning forward, or sitting on the edge of a chair shows interest and engagement in the conversation. It also conveys confidence and attentiveness. Sitting back or crossing arms and legs can indicate disinterest or defensiveness. Placing the chair too close to the interviewer can invade their personal space. Leaning back with hands behind the head can indicate arrogance or overconfidence.
