Here are five body language tips for the young executive by grooming guru Allan Pease:

2. Don't wear a goatee to an interview.

3. Never overfill your briefcase or folder.

4. Avoid talking for long periods and never shake hands across the desk.

5. Angle your chair or body 45 degrees away from the interview.
