8 forbidden gestures at the interview
There is no such person who would not be worried about the interview. But someone manages to keep himself in control, while in another experience “creeps out” uncontrollably in facial expressions and gestures. We talked with recruiters and found out what can spoil the impression of the applicant?
Do not bite your nails
“Some people start biting their nails with excitement. Agree that the sight is terrible. One candidate for an engineer’s vacancy astounded me by doing it so methodically, nail by nail, that I wanted to advise him to change his profession. At the manicurist. "
Keep your hands to yourself
“A lot of applicants nervously“ torture ”various objects: pens, pencils, pieces of paper, their own documents and even things lying on the interviewer's desk. There are a lot of cases. At one, the pen fell apart, and he, forgetting about the conversation, rushed to collect it. Another almost his whole notebook was torn to shreds. "
SUMMARY SERVICE: training, distribution and translation of resumes
“One young man twisted a button on his shirt throughout the interview. A very bewitching sight. I even listened to him in half: I was more interested in the question: tear off or not? But more often such a “disease” occurs in girls: one earring in the ear is tugging, the other is a pendant on a chain. And once the applicant was twisting and twisting her pendant with her fingers, and then she brought it into her mouth - to gnaw a bit. Surprisingly simple. ”
And legs
“Once a very decent person came to the interview, applying for the position of department head. When we started the conversation, I suddenly felt a strange trembling, even frightened at first: either some terrible foreboding woke up inside me, or the earthquake began. Then he took a closer look, and this is my interlocutor shaking his leg under the table: as if his psychiatrist at the reception on the leg often knocks with a hammer. Nervous".
Leave your nose alone
“Several times I came across candidates who were harassed by their own nose. They scratched him, constantly fiddling with him. Of course, this is not a reason to refuse a specialist position. But such gestures do not add points. ”
Do not, as in advertising
“Once a nice lady came, claiming the position of secretary. The applicant had a gorgeous pile of red hair. And she constantly either combed them with her hands or shook her head, as in a television advertisement for shampoo. I considered that such a habit was unacceptable to the secretary. Somehow too immodest and frivolous. "
Language
“Tongue sticking out is a sign of special concentration and tension. Carried away by some painstaking work, many children do this, and some adults sometimes do not control themselves. "There is nothing special about this, but when the candidate, filling out the questionnaire, sticks out his tongue almost to the ear, this makes an unpleasant impression."
Do not cover your mouth. Hand
“There are people who have a very unpleasant manner: when talking, keep hands near the mouth. Firstly, it distorts speech. Secondly, psychologists believe that such a habit may indicate a person’s tendency to lie. ”
Do not “Juliet”
“One man during the whole interview could not calmly sit on a chair for a second. He accompanied his answers with various gestures: either he leaned too far forward, then he leaned back sharply, then he simply fidgeted in his chair, as if he had an awl in one place. In my opinion, too mobile candidate. But oddly enough, in the end we took it. "
It is clear that in order to get a job, you must first of all be a professional. You can’t argue with that. But even if a very smart and experienced specialist simply does not know how to control himself, this will become a huge problem in the process of his employment. A person will receive refusal after refusal and lose heart. So, you need to work on yourself, carefully monitor yourself. And if it doesn’t work out, go to the psychologists for help.
