How to Perfect Body Language For Your Job Interview

How to Perfect Body Language For Your Job Interview Studies have shown that your body language communicates more to another person than what you say or the tone of your voice. This is even truer when you are interacting with a stranger, as one naturally sizes up someone new. For that reason, your body language during a job interview has a large effect on the hiring manager’s perceptions of you and consequently, your likelihood of being hired. How you present your body can convey subtle (and sometimes, not so subtle) cues that project anxiety, hesitation, confidence or even arrogance. Because restaurant jobs involve strong interpersonal skills, a hiring manager will be paying close attention to your body language and how it corresponds (or does not correspond) to the questions he or she asks and the answers you give. With this in mind, you should observe of your own habits and what meaning they give off (with or without you consciously noticing).  Additionally, any preparation for a job interview should include a review of good body language and not focus solely on what you say: Don’t Try to Fake It: By: Bob Martuch As body language is frequently as a lie detector, it is hard to fake your body language and most of us cannot make our bodies do everything we want when we are nervous. The key is not to fake it! The trick is being relaxed and connected with your body during an interview. When you leave your body on automatic and ignore basic sensations, you would be surprised how quickly you slouch in your chair or start tapping your fingers nervously. Slow Down: The first thing you can practice is slowing down how fast we speak. Often when we operate at the speed of our minds, we lose control of our body language. So talking slowly and deliberately is a good way to keep our bodies in check during an interview. Since our main focus during the interview will be what we say anyway (not our feet or shoulders), how fast you speak is a reliable path to greater control over your body and a generally more relaxed state. When you do a practice interview with a friend, tape record it and observe how you perform. You can see your body language, but also track how fast you are speaking. There is an additional benefit: unless it is unusually slow, slower speakers tend to disarm and relax whoever they are speaking to, in this case the hiring manager. Learn Good Body Language: By: Dan Vineyard When preparing, you want to focus on what you should do and not what you shouldn’t do. No one is perfect. If you slip into some kind of negative pose in the interview, you do not want to lose your cool and let a lot of chatter cloud your thinking. Over the course of in interview, everyone re-adjusts themselves a few times (it would be strange to be perfectly still). The thing is to teach your body to recognize good body language in your body (without a mirror). Noticing sensations will bring a greater mindfulness to what you are doing with your body when your mind is elsewhere, such as answering questions for an interview. Here are the basic elements of good body language: Eye Contact: Maintain frequent though intermittent eye contact. Sense the comfort level of the manager and give them slightly more than equal eye contact. Posture: Sit up right but in a relaxed way where your shoulders drop naturally and your back is straight but not flexed backwards. Angles: Direct your shoulders so that you are facing the manager. You do not want to suggest avoidance but openness. Leaning: You don’t want to be a statute nor lean in aggressively. Lean in fluidly when appropriate but always return to a natural sitting position. Hands and Feet: Find a few comfortable poses before the interview that suggest you are engaged but not aggressive. The more relaxed they are the better, so feet should be flat on the floor (if possible) and hands should be in a neutral state unless speaking. When you do speak, your gesticulation should be natural and used sparingly. What to Do the Day Of the Interview: Your body language is a product of your energy level. Hormones like adrenaline can play a significant role in your mental and physical state. So if you have a tension releaser, like exercise, yoga or meditation, it is a good idea to do it the day of an interview (but not over do it). On the other hand, only drink enough coffee to keep you awake and attentive, as caffeine can wreak havoc with jitteriness. READ MORE: How to Prepare For a Job Interview [INFOGRAPHIC] Staying in Your Chair and Not in Your Thoughts: Remember an interview is only a conversation, and you have had thousands upon thousands of conversations in your life. If you think of it as a performance, you are likely not to relate the hiring manager and that will probably affect your body language. So develop a simple system to “check in” on your body. Stay positive every time you straighten yourself in your chair or refocus on the interviewer’s eyes. With body language, things fall apart for everyone, what makes the difference is those who bring it back together naturally. That way you let your body language contribute to you getting your next job. Author: Julie Lerner is a co-founder of EatDrinkJobs, the easiest way to hire and get hired in the restaurant industry.

How to Use the Right Language Throughout the Hiring Process

How to Use the Right Language Throughout the Hiring Process You don’t need to go far to see the power of language in action. We can all think of a time when one kind word made our day or a misunderstood statement caused a rather awkward disagreement. When it comes to the hiring process, language is key. The words we use and the way we conduct ourselves through language can have a massive impact on our candidate’s experience and our employer brand as a result. Here are a few tips to help you make sure you’re using the right lingo to get the talent that you’re looking for. 1. Be Clear First things first, you need to write the perfect job listing. Ditch cringe-worthy terms like ‘’tech ninja’’ or ‘’coding guru’’. These are old, tired, and above all give the candidate very little information about the role. As more potential candidates find jobs through social media and internet search engines, the need to be clear and transparent when advertising jobs are more important than ever. Using concise job titles that can be easily searched on job platforms will ensure that your job posting catches the eyes of the right talent and fingers crossed your future employee. 2. Keep it short and sweet Nobody wants to spend all day reading a job description online. Well, at least I hope not. According to recent studies, the average human’s attention span is now only 8 seconds to keep your job posting to the point. Clearly, list out the experience and skills needed to be successful as well as the responsibilities that will come with the role. You are more likely to receive stronger applications this way. It’s a win-win for you and the candidate. Once you’ve written the basics don’t be afraid to add a little bit of color to your posting. Let candidates know what it’s really like to work for you. If you have a Tuesday morning yoga class tell them about it. If you hold a BBQ every summer put that in too. Talking about your company’s culture is a great way to entice talent. 3. Keep it gender neutral Well, it is 2017 people. Be careful of the tone of your job listing. Does the language in your job description have male connotations? Or is it completely gender neutral? Research shows that job listings which have a gender-specific tone get fewer applications. Keep your descriptions gender neutral to ensure that they appeal to candidates across the board. More applicants mean more talent for you to choose from. It’s a no-brainer. 4. Remain professional Especially in the interview phase. This is not just a friendly chat, you are assessing the candidate’s competency for the role and this should be reflected in how you email them, speak on the phone and interview them in person. Even if you have worked with the candidate before or know them personally, try to keep a level of professionalism in all communications. This will also help put the candidate at ease as it will set the professional boundaries from early on. 5. Be enthusiastic At every stage of the hiring process, from the initial job posting to the offer stage you must demonstrate enthusiasm. Show talent that you are passionate about their work and you are excited at the prospect of having them on board. You want to create a good impression, firstly of yourself and secondly of the company as a whole. Think about it, if you went to an interview and the hiring manager did not seem excited about the company would you want to work there? Definitely not. Your candidates will be much more likely to accept an offer from a business that sounds like a brilliant place to work.   About the author:  Alice Murray  is a Content Creator at Jobbio  with a passion for employer branding and graduate development.

Resume Writing Errors - Dont List Prior Work Experience

Resume Writing Errors - Don't List Prior Work ExperienceThe number one tip to avoid a resume writing error is to list prior work experience at the beginning of your resume. By listing prior work experience first on your resume, it means that you didn't look for it as part of your process of finding a job.Once you do get a job, make sure you use your resume for the next job you apply for. This includes putting the previous employment in your cover letter and employment application. When you contact a prospective employer, try to have all your past jobs available.Ask for references to work for previous employers. Ask the reference about your experience level. Ask them if they would recommend you for the job. Remember to check their references as well.References may be part of the process of hiring you. It is easier to check references for people who work in the field you are looking for. Remember to ask references whether they would be willing to speak with you to give you a recommenda tion. You should always do an interview before bringing someone in to interview.Prior work experience is another way to increase your chances of getting hired. By adding previous work experience to your resume, you are helping to direct potential employers to see what you can do. You also don't have to lie about it because it is already listed.Many people find that adding a new career to their resume is difficult to do. Most likely, this is due to the fact that you were too busy in your previous career to look for other work. It is easier to add work experience on to your resume than it is to add to your resume. Look around at your current job and decide which jobs you want to learn more about and how much experience you have.A good way to figure out if you should add your prior work experience to your resume is to take a job-related test at your current place of employment. This will help you make a judgment on how much additional work experience is needed to advance. Most companie s will expect that you will have at least two years worth of experience before you will be eligible for promotions.Writing resumes can be an enjoyable part of the job. Avoiding common resume writing errors and making it a point to list all the work experience you have is the best way to improve your chances of getting hired.

A Jobseekers Holiday Wish List - CareerEnlightenment.com

A Networking MentorIt’s my wish that every jobseeker finds a networking mentor this holiday season.   What is a networking mentor?   This is someone who is in your line of work, is power connected in your industry and who unconditionally mentors you through the job search process (and beyond).   Job hunting can be a lonely process and having a networking mentor help you along is invaluable.   Finding a networking mentor is part luck, part intuition, part attitude, and part effort.I consider a close friend, Adam Berman, a networking mentor.   Adam offered to meet me at Starbucks when I was having trouble getting people to accept my networking requests.   He clued me in to networking organizations that I never knew existed because I was a “heads down” corporate employee for many years before.   He opened up his virtual rolodex and connected me with many other influential people.   And Adam was there to provide advice on which job to take and how to negotiate the best offer.   Eve ryone, especially a jobseeker at this time of year, needs an “Adam.”   You will know it when you find one.A Job Search TeamIn the same spirit of not tackling a job search alone, a job search team can be so beneficial.   A job search team is a group of like-minded professionals who work together and support each other through the process.   Generally, team members have synergistic careers and networks but do not completely overlap.   It can be awkward if job search team members directly compete with each other for the same positions.The job search team meets weekly or bi-weekly to share job leads, networking suggestions, tips, tricks and techniques.   The job search team provides moral support, smoothing out the high and low emotions associated with job search.A Career Coaching SessionHiring a great Career Coach can help you shave months off your job search and can help you earn more than you thought possible.   Here’s another way to look at it. If you are sick, you hire a doct or.   If you need tax advice, you hire an accountant.   If you need career advice, you hire a Career Coach.   A coach normally has a lot of experience in career dynamics, either from spending time in outplacement companies or corporate human resources departments.   These professionals know how to strategize and are on top of the latest trends, such as using social media and personal branding.Many Career Coaches will provide a brief complimentary session to help you evaluate your needs.   My wish is that you find the right professional to help guide you through a very difficult and challenging time and through a process with which you have limited experience.To RecapIf you are in job search mode, what other gifts would you like (other than a six figure job offer!) to see this year?   If you currently have jobseekers in your network, what would you recommend for them?
