You've Got 7 Seconds to Impress Me
Instinct still drives us. We have evolved over millions of years to make split second decisions. If we are unaware of this then we may be making fatal mistakes when we are either preforming an interview or attending one. So what is it that makes the most impact in the first 7 second's and indeed continuously after this?
Answer: Body Language.
Non - verbal communication is still the main method of communication in today's society and indeed you could argue soon verbal communication will be used less and less when you look at communication method's such as social media.
Communication is made up of a huge 57% body language, 36% tone and 7% words. Hence when you present yourself for interview its very, very important that you remember your body language. Remember the person or person's interviewing you are driven by million's or years of evolution and will subconsciously be evaluating you from the moment they see you. They may in fact have made their decision unknown to themselves before they even shake your hand.
It will take a lot of work in the interview on your part to persuade them away from their initial instinct. That's why a well written CV that highlight's your talents and the benefit you will bring to their company will be a great help.
