Body Talk

Have you ever looked at yourself talk to other people...or at least asked for feedback concerning your body language?
Researchers say that body language speaks louder than words. Human Beings (except for the blind) get more information through sight than any other sense.
So you should be very concerned about the way you appear to other.
As I have mentioned in an earlier post...a recruiter will make up his/her mind about you in the first 25 seconds of your meeting.
Always remember that the people invited for interviews have already been pre-qualified (meaning that the recruiter thinks they can do the job...based in their qualifications) So all the recruiter wants to really know about you during the interview process is: are you the right person to do the job?

Your
1. Gestures,
2. Posture
3. Eye contact
4. Hand shake
will be some of the determinants.


Assertive Gestures:
Genuine smile
Firm Handshake
Good eye contact
open hand gestures
balanced and upright posture
listening
and relaxed.

Some of these gestures take work. You should definitely get feedback from a professional or someone you trust.
Try recording yourself...and then watch how you appear and behave while talking. You will be surprised of the number of things things that you do without noticing.
