Body Language Skills For Career Interviews

When you’re being interviewed for a position it is very imperative you reveal the appropriate signals.

You ought to dress neatly for the interview and ought to leave home ahead of you need to on the day of the interview – you may be delayed by traffic or for different reasons. Be courteous to all staff of the company. At the interview itself you need to be positive about yourself and your talents – but do not waffle.

You have to always look and feel attentive – do not slouch in your chair . Under no circumstances lie to anybody in an job interview , your body language and tone of voice or the sayings you utilise will probably give you away – classic body language giveaways involve scratching your nasal area and not looking straight at the other individual when you’re talking to them .

Basically, this illustrates how essential body language is in your interview preparation , for how you communicate is more than the words that you choose .

Truth be told, it is thought that only 7 % of what you say – terms and subject matter – contributes to the message that you send out. 40 % of the message that is recieved from you has to do with your experience or credentials as a speaker. A whoping 53 % of your communication is to do with how you say it (voice / tone / presentation / body language).

Some tips that you may want to take note of as you prepare for your position interview are:

  • If you have a moustache you’ll need to consider shaving it off – individuals with moustaches can be perceived as being aggressive. You’ll invariably grow it again once you have got the job.
  • Hold your head up
  • Plant both feet securely on the floor – this can keep you grounded
  • Open arms/palms when discussing your experience

Hope these interview tips were of use.
