New CareerBuilder Survey Reveals Top Body Language Mistakes Candidates Make in Job Interviews

I confess, I am totally slumped over in my chair as I write this. My body language to an outsider would say that I am not into my job. The truth is, that I am about 30minutes overdue for my afternoon caffeine fix as I got all caught up in a project that I was finishing.

We are ALL guilt of poor body language at times. This article from careerbuilder.com gives some good tips for perfecting your body language at interviews.

How To Stand Out (in a good way) In An Interview

My fellow blogger Christine recently talked about how the questions and answers at interviews are the same. If you’re bored, just think how boring it is for the interviewer. You know they are interviewing lots of people for the same position. They ask the same questions of each person interviewed. It’s mind numbing to hear basically the same answer from each person.

Consider the following scenario:
Interviewer: “Tell me a little bit about yourself.”
Interviewee: “I have 10 years experience as a supervisor of widget makers. I worked my way up from the assembly line. I know I have the experience and skills you’re looking for. My experience, skills and my eagerness to continually learn new things will be a great asset to your organization.”

While all of that may be true, it’s boring.

Now, let’s throw in a little creativity.
Interviewer: “Tell me a little bit about yourself.”
Interviewee: “I love to learn. As a matter of fact I recently learned that your organization is planning on releasing a new widget design next year. My experience and skills will be a great asset in assisting the existing team to gear up your local plant for production of this new design.”

Take a look at the creativity of this canine. His owner has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the dog inside the fenced yard. However… Well, just watch and you’ll see what I mean.

Kathleen's eternal job search

I met Kathleen Jones a few months ago at a training event in Flagler. The event was designed to provide job seekers with the latest and greatest techniques to find a job in this “spectacular” economy. (By the way, if you didn’t come, you missed one of the greatest presentations of all time: mine. I spoke to the group about developing a strategy to work with head hunters.)

Kathleen approached me at the end of the session. She was receptive to my ideas and we talked about her situation. What I remember best, though, was her frustration with her progress. She felt that despite her best efforts, there were no signs of a job ahead.

Despite her feelings she continued charging forward. She was so devoted to finding a job, that she even volunteered to help at our yearly Business Summit. She mingled and networked with everyone like there was no tomorrow.

And you know what? All her hard work paid off: She got a job. She is the Supplemental Educational Service Coordinator at St. Johns County Education Foundation (talk about a super long title.)

All this to tell you that, even though you may feel now like you will be searching FOR – EH – EVER, you WILL find a job sooner or later. You just have to stay at it.

Congratulations Kathleen.

Very Funny Video about history of Job Interviews

So you are looking for a job? You have bought your interview clothes, got a hair cut, printed your resume, combed the ads in newspapers, the Internet, EFM and friends, gone to the networking socials and have spent the past months answering every question under the sun about you that is professionally possible. Months have gone by and you are tired of answering these same questions over and over. "Why did you leave your last job, what makes you special, what are your skills, what can you offer us", etc. etc. etc. And you have begun to ask yourself, who comes up with these questions? Why are they all the same? Well watch the following video and find out why! A little humor for brightening up what can sometimes seem an endless stream of daunting interviews. Enjoy!

(As a side note if you don't know what a CV is, neither did I - it is a Curriculum Vitae which in many countries is equivalent to a resume')
