To keep your positive body language during interview for as long as possible, you should follow these steps:

 

Seat straight

 

According some countries postures, men should avoid cross the leg showing the plant of the shoes

 

Avoid too many hands/arm gesticulations (will confuse the interviewer and distract)

 

Show interest for what the interviewer is saying, doing an "active listen" (means that is understanding what´s being told)

 

Show confidence looking eyes to eyes

 

Adopt an motivated attitude, making questions

 

Try not to talk too fast

 

 

The first thing is to be honest with yourself, as if not you will deliver a wrong body language that could cost you the job. Then, you should remain calm and smiling as you're applying for customer service position. Finally try to overcome the stress in order to answer the questions in the best way.

all communication must not be based on assumptions,you have to answer what you know,a primary objective of holding an interview is to assess your capabilities against information you presented to interviewers.
