Body language or nonverbal communication is very important to your career, your job search and your success in life. There has been more than one candidate who lost the second interview due to his/her nonverbal communication. Like the guy who was leading the pack of candidates until, he pounded his fist on the table as he shared a story about his leadership style.
You body language during networking or interviewing can extend your job search or help you land the job. Be sure you understand what you do, what you want to communicate and how your communication may be viewed by the people you engage and approach.
As you prepare for your interview, you will also need to think about your influence strategy for getting the salary you deserve. Will your goal be increasing the attractiveness of what you offer or will your goal be reducing the decision maker’s resistance to your salary request?
