What is a nonverbal?

A Nonverbal job typically refers to a role that relies primarily on nonverbal communication, such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures, rather than spoken or written language.

Examples include sign language interpreters, mime artists, and certain customer service roles. Effective nonverbal communication skills help professionals convey emotions, instructions, or support without words.
