What Your Interview Body Language Reveals About You

Have you ever thought about how your body language is affecting your interview success?

When you walk into a room, before you have even said anything, you are making an impression on those who are watching. Before a single word has come out of your mouth, people have created an opinion about you. Whether it be good or bad, your body language has made the first impression and that’s what’s going to stick with people.

During a job interview, your body language is just as important as the answers you give to questions you are asked. Hand shakes, eye contact, head bobbing, hair twirling, foot shaking, posture, and tone are just a few aspects you should be aware of during an interview. While some of our body language occurs unconsciously, it’s still a good idea to be aware of it and think about how it might be perceived by someone else.

For most aspects of body language, the hardest part is finding the right balance. For example: It’s important to be confident in yourself to avoid looking insecure, but you also want to make sure you aren’t too confident or you’ll look cocky. You should nod your head in agreement to show you are engaged, but don’t nod it too often or you will look like a bobblehead. Make eye contact with the interviewer, but avoid constantly staring them in the eyes, it might freak them out.

To help you find this balance in your body language, here are a list of things you should consider before your next interview.

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

• Bumble is laying off 350 employees.

• How Walmart plans to fill 100,000 jobs.

• Unionized Starbucks workers will receive pay hikes.

1 Thing You MUST Say In A Job Interview To Make More Money!

In the video above, J.T. explains that people who spend time doing interview prep not only get the job, but are offered more money. Yes, your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile are important, but you should arguably be spending more time on your interview prep than anything else. This one technique will set you up for success (and better pay)!

You’ve probably heard us talk about your UVA or unique value add before. We all have skills, but we’re not special because of that. What makes you unique is your ability to convey how you will use those skills to make or save a company enough money to justify the cost of hiring you. When you effectively communicate your UVA during an interview, you will quickly become the one the employer wants.

How does this get me more money? If you are an employers first pick, you hold the reigns, you’re in the driver’s seat now and it sets you up to negotiate a higher salary. They are not going to want to lose their top choice, so they will pay you that higher salary to get you to say “yes”.

What do I need to do to up my interview prep and understand my UVA? First you need to understand your workplace personas, AKA how you like to create value in the workplace. The best way to do this is to take the Career Decoder Quiz (it’s free) and record your top 3 personas.

Next, you should follow the steps of the exercise J.T. explains in the above video (around minute 2:57). It will explain how you have created value in the past with your real work experiences. This will serve as a guide for you to be able to convey your UVA during job interviews.

Understanding your UVA is a total game changer, and if you are willing to put in the work, you will see amazing results!
