Sometimes the hardest part of a job interview is not remembering what to say, but making sure your body is saying it too. It’s easier to control the words coming out of your mouth than what your body is communicating.
Body language during an interview plays a very important role in making or breaking your career. The expression “actions speak louder than words” holds absolutely true, especially during job interviews. The way you present yourself leaves a significant impact on your interviewer.
Everything – right from your outfit to your hairstyle, accessories, and all other things you might be carrying – are judged! From the moment you enter through the company’s front door, you’re perceived with different opinions by different people.
We all know how much our body language tells others about us. Our thoughts are reflected in our physical behaviours, so, depending on our posture, we can convey authority and self confidence or self-doubt and embarrassment. But not everyone knows that so-called non verbal communication can, in fact, influence the mind and how we see ourselves.
An often cited study from the late 60’s states that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken. Although this breakdown might not be exact, it does emphasize the power of non-verbal communication.
