Interview: behavior speaks louder than words Bashny.Net

Interview — finish line on the way to successful employment. The importance of this event cannot be underestimated: here, in the truest sense of the word, decides your fate. Even if you are a successful technician and professional in his work with "a capital", it does not mean that the employer will rip you with his hands. Modern labor market dictates the experts rules that only intelligence is not enough to build a brilliant career: today, the employer makes a choice towards a higher level of EQ (emotional intelligence) than IQ.





What is important to know about the interview?There seems to be no person in the world who has at least once passed an interview for the job, but not everyone is aware of the following facts:

 

• the average duration of the interview — 40 minutes;
• about 35% of managers have enough 90 seconds in order to understand whether they will accept you for the position.

 

Don't forget that important literally your every move and gesture is: 50% of employers primarily pay attention to how the applicant is dressed and even the way he walked in the door. The next thing to focus — voice training, confidence and behavior in General, and only at the end of the employer notices what you're talking about.

 

Indeed, psychologists have proven that using behavior, the so-called non-verbal communication, we talk about ourselves more than we perhaps would like. Therefore, the interview should be to control not only their language but also the body as a whole.





Common nonverbal mistakes during the interview (according to aggregator vacanciesGorodRabot.ru according to a survey of 200 leaders):

 

• the applicant knows nothing about the company, which gets to work — this error is considered the most common and unforgivable;
• not smiling — remember that bosses are people too and they have the pleasure of your smile;
• don't make eye contact — eye contact is extremely important: a calm and confident look in the eyes say a lot about you;
• too often hair and touching the face — this behavior shows that you're insecure and it's just ugly;
• weak handshake — it would seem a trifle, but a limp handshake will give the impression of soft, unconfident and passive person;
• crossed arms — we all know that crossing arms and legs is evaluated subconsciously as a sign of "stop" a person wants to communicate, therefore, at the interview, it is better to avoid these gestures;
• a lot of hectic movements and active gestures also irritate interviewers .

And again about the clothes...

Yes, appearance is extremely important for managers, though very few people remembers it, relying on their competence and qualifications. Remember that more than 60% of employers called appearance is the deciding factor. But, don't try to look ultra-fashionable, almost 100% of executives don't like it when the candidates dressed bright and too modern, restrained business style, and preppy clothes to the nines, that's all you need.
