Once you are nervous, you will uncontrollably fidget with your hands and create different hand gestures. Different hand gestures gives people different impression and before are some of the examples:
Minaret type: It gives out the confident look and shows people that you are paying attention to the  conversation.
Hands together evenly: This is a gesture of frustration, which stops negative emotions.
Touching your chin: it represents that you are thinking of an answer for the question

3. Posture

A good posture will make the interviewer feel your sincerity:
Standing position: Put your hands by the thighs and avoid splayed feet. Women who are wearing high heels should place their  balance on their heels and on their foot sole. Then, stand upright with shoulders pulled back and look up.
Sitting position: It is more favorable when you are sitting on a high chair as it creates a convincing look and a sense of authority. Your chair should not be too far away from the table and try to slightly lean forward when you are answering the interviewer’s question.

4. Fidgets
