Communication & listening skills

Did you know that the Body language comprises 55% of the force of any response, whereas verbal communication only provides 7%, and the intonation, pauses and sighs given when answering represents 38% of the emphasis.
 

Nonverbal communication is even more important than verbal communication. The minute you walk into the company's lobby, your communication skills with be judged until the interview is finished. To explain in details, if you walk in to your interview smelling like any sort of bad odor or chewing gum, you will already have a negative view on yourself. Talking on your cell phone or listening to your ipod while waiting may be your final strike. You need to be professional and attentive through the interview process.


When having nonverbal communication during the interview, make eye contact with the interviewer for a few seconds at a time, smile and nod at appropriate times, be polite and keep an even tone. You must be relax but do not lean back, pay attention, be attentive and interested. Be attentive and don't interrupt.
