Using Effective Body Language To Ace A Job Interview
Knowing how to move, what to do with your hands, and where to look is often overlooked when it comes to preparing for a job interview. Unfortunately, your body language can be the main determining factor for a prospective employer. Non-verbal communication provides the interviewer with more than three quarters of the information he or she will discover about you.
Networking to advance your career is more than going to events hoping to meet a recruitment specialist with available jobs. There is great benefit to initiating and maintaining contact with individuals who can facilitate your career progression.
School / college leavers and university graduates about to land their first job need to learn employment etiquette that could mean the difference between workplace success and failure. Accepted behaviour at school / college / university is not always appropriate in the office.
How many times have we come out of an interview feeling like we nailed the job, that we really sold ourselves, and are certain we’re the number one candidate? Then the phone doesn’t ring or we are called and told that another candidate was chosen. We can tactfully ask why we weren’t chosen, but this can be uncomfortable, and most times we won’t get a completely truthful answer.
Salary negotiations are an accepted, and oftentimes expected part of the hiring process. A non-committal stance, coupled with any information gathered during the interview process will put you in the best position to negotiate salary/benefit terms.
