All driven professionals find themselves in interviews – usually multiple times throughout their careers. Positioning themselves as the best candidates for highly sought-after roles is quite challenging. When people interview to join Element Consulting Group, they often rely on some effective strategies for making positive impressions. Here are some examples:
- Eye Contact: Body language in general is important, and eye contact is especially crucial. When the people across the table look directly at us, they convey confidence. When they smile as they make eye contact, they convey warmth. Other helpful body language concepts include tall posture, head nodding, and hand gestures to make key points.
- Silence: During Unlimited Advertising Group interviews, we’re quite aware of how much talking the candidates do. We’re impressed when they’re articulate and eager to discuss their ideas and goals. Just as important, however, is their use of silence. Attentive listening shows interest and willingness to learn.
- Consider the Competition: Sometimes potential team members know who else is vying for the role at hand. Sometimes they don’t. In either case, the most successful among them understand their unique value. They know how they stand apart from the rest, and make sure to showcase their top qualities.
