See How Easily You can Master Non-Verbal Interviewing

In Interview in a Snap (http://recareered.blogspot.com/2008/04/interview-in-snap.html ), I discussed research that found hiring decisions are made within the first 30 seconds of an interview … perhaps as short as just 2 seconds. The rest of the interview just served to justify the hiring manager’s initial impression.

Is that shocking to you?

It’s shocking to me - So shocking, that it led me to wonder how a job seeker can influence the first few seconds of an interview and quickly become the favored candidate?

What The Experts Say:

So I talked to a few experts in workplace Non-Verbal Communications, who gave some fascinating comments about how to make an instant connection upon walking into a room, and passing the 2 second interview test with flying colors.

Mike Murray, Author of Forget the Parachute, Let Me Fly the Plane stated that “Most hiring managers don’t understand how they hire, because we have no concept of our own bias. Humans have a fundamental attribution error…we often don’t understand what motivates us to an action.”

What Mike is describing, the rest of us call “gut feel”, and it’s all established based on Non-Verbal Communications. While we don’t always understand what motivates our “gut feel”, we usually follow it.

Based on research, you only get between 2-30 seconds to form those “gut feel” impressions with the interviewer. So how can a job seeker establish rapport with a hiring manager in the first 2-30 seconds? It’s all about mastering Non-Verbal Communications, which establishes trust, likability, & rapport almost instantaneously.

So what can you do in the first few seconds to instantly non-verbally communicate that you’re the best person for the job?
