Reading Body Language

 
Reading body language is perhaps the most important task of the interviewers. Many of us are unaware of the fact with reading body language that a great majority of jobs are found or lost in the initial few minutes of the interview? Do bear in mind that in course of your conversations, especially during the very first minute, only a fraction of the first impressions given by the interviewee is via words.

And the left over will be based upon paralanguage, type of pitches, tone, amplitude, rate and voice quality. In other words, the interviewers invest most of their time reading body language. I will try to answer a few things about the recruiters. Firstly, do you think that the recruiters are aware of the body language of the candidates? Yes.

The truth is that the interviewers is reading body language

 
Today, managers are being trained on the art of reading particular facial signs with the interviews. And whether you like it or not, shrewd ones who’re decisively conscious of the importance of reading body language could generally be looking up specific movements of conformity or disparity.

They pay special attention eye contacts, type of interest, overall energy levels, state of confidence, politeness or honesty. Those who don’t deliberately pick it all up would simply “feel” something for the candidate. That explains why at times decisions are within the matter of a few minutes.

Now let’s take a look at the vibes people end up picking in regards to their body language. Vibes could be your insecurity, that translates into lack of proper eye contact and poor posture. Sometimes, it’s about lying, that translates into poor eye contact or scratching of the face/ear. Similarly with reading body language, your laziness could appear when you sag in chair.

Some candidates end up showing off their overbearing attitude by sitting down even before they’re asked to. Pointing your feet to the exit direction is also a glitch as your feet indicate the direction your body wants to head for with reading body language.

Not to mention the blunders of rocking back and forth, which is a clear sign of your nervousness. Poor body language could really cost you the job of your dreams. Let’s take a good look at the typical body language blemishes we witnessed. Some people end up looking angry as they’re very nervous. The people reading body language can tell whether you have ready and relaxed face.
