These 4 mind tricks will help you kill it at job interviews

These 4 mind tricks will help you kill it at job bewerbungsinterviewsThese 4 mind tricks will help you kill it at job interviewsJob interviews are a stressful situation where the stakes are high for you to deliver and impress. When youre on edge in these make-or-break scenarios, its all too easy to put your brain on autopilot and blurt out unrelated nonsense that may have your interviewer scooting away.To prevent that, we rounded up some of the best psychological mind tricks to get you in the confident and prepared headspace you need to ace an interview1) Act like youve already gotten the jobTo act confident, you need to visualize the finish line and embody the heart and soul of a winner. Thats the techniqueCapital One menschenwrdig resources executive Meghan Welch told Business Insider successful candidates have used.It helps if youve done the legwork to back this confidence up. Acting like youve got the job means you have solutions to questions interviewers bring up. That means pre paring beforehand on questions interviewers can ask you, asking your friends to do mock interviews with you, and reading up on the company itself. When youre that prepared, it will come through in your body language.When youre acting as if you already have the role, your interviewers start to see you as a colleague more than one more candidate. For interviewers, Welch said this energy comes off as I am super excited about the problem you are talking about right now and I have a whole bunch of ways I would love to solve it.Of course, you want to channel the energy of a successful job applicant, but you dont want to go overboard with it and cross the line into cocky delusion by telling your interviewer See you Monday2) Hire-me body language means mirroring your interviewerHow you deliver information can be as revealing as the information itself. Fidgeting hands, drumming fingers, and flailing gestures do not convey hire-me vibes, they expose your nerves. One of the easiest social cues to increase your hiring chances is making regular eye contact with your interviewer. Body language experts have found that when someone looks you in the eye, it indicates confidence, authority, and presence.Maintaining eye contact is basic body language knowledge. A more advanced class to take is consciously mirroring the tone, posture, mannerisms, and energy of your interviewer. Social psychologists call this the chameleon effect and have found that the mirroring increases your interviewers chances of liking you and smooths over interactions.So when your interviewer leans back, you lean back, too - but subtly. (You dont want to look like an actual mime.)3) Match what you wear to what you want to projectThe colors of what you wear to the interview signal what kind of person you are before you even open your mouth. A 2013CareerBuilder surveyof 2,000 hiring managers and human resources professionals found that colors act as mood rings - and blue was the best color you could wear to look professional.Here are the qualities the managers in the survey associated with each color Black Leadership Blue Team Player Gray Analytical White Organized Brown Dependable Red Power Orange CreativityAlthough orange signals creativity, it was also the color least liked by managers, with one in four reporting that it looked unprofessional.4) Be yourselfYou want to use these psychological tips to enhance the qualities you already have - interviewers can tell when youre being phony, and youll be penalized for it. A 2017 study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that candidates who have a strong drive to self-verify and present themselves authentically have a higher likelihood of success.In a job interview, we often try to present ourselves as perfect. Our study proves this instinct wrong, the studys lead author Dr. Celia Moore said. Interviewers perceive an overly polished self-representation as inauthentic and potentially misrepresentative. But ultimately, if y ou are a high-quality candidate, you can be yourself on the job market. You can be honest and authentic. And if you are, you will be more likely to get a job.

How To Complain While Still Being Professional

How To Complain While Still Being ProfessionalHow To Complain While Still Being Professional At any job, issues are bound to come up. From your coworkers to your company policies, not everything can be perfect all the time. So, what exactly should you do when you disagree with a company policy, or need to lodge a formal complaint about your annoying co-worker?Theres a huge difference between exhibiting radical candor and becoming the office complainer. In order to help employees strike the right balance, Glassdoor spoke with a few career experts to help you resolve your office woes the professional way.The first step to take when raising concerns in the work place, according to Amy Van Court, CPCC, PCC , is to talk to your direct supervisor. Despite any past experiences youve had bringing feedback to your manager, Van Court notes this is always the best way to start addressing your concerns.departure clean. Give your babo an opportunity to surprise you, to advocate for you if necessary, says Van Court.But, before actually going in to make your complaint, Van Court suggests taking a moment to consider what you want to happen.Turn everycomplaintyou have into arequest, suggest Van Court. Then youre creating a path instead of staying stuck in the mud and expecting someone else to get you out.Before you walk into your managers office, its best to go in prepared with solutions. If you walk in with a long list of complaints and no proactive steps to take to solve them, youll end up sounding like a complainer.If you have concerns, take some time to get clear on what they are and why they upset you - journaling is great for this, says Laura Weldy, leadership mentor and life coach at The Well Supported Woman . Taking some time to prepare will allow you to be precise with your concerns and also help you to avoid saying anything too hastily.Laura notes she encourages clients who experience this issue to take this practice one step forward and actually identify what their ideal solution to the schwierigkeit would be. Whether its changing the way you communicate with someone, or requesting a change in your schedule, coming to this meeting prepared will help your manager better understand how to help you.Your manager may not be able to make it happen, but they will never know what youre hoping to see happen if you dont tell them - plus it shows that youre proactive about problem-solving, says Weldy.If your manager cant help with the situation, or nothing gets resolved after your complaint is made, what steps should you take next? Try taking the request to the persons boss, or to your managers supervisor. Then, if the issues continue to be ignored or unresolved, you can go to human resources.I have heard of many examples of people feeling they are not treated justly by their boss (or their boss being unreasonable or speaking in nasty tones) and issues with a fellow employee - such as inappropriate behavior, irritation by sitting too close in a cubicle situation or gossip, etc., describes Anne Angerman, MSW at Career Matters . If there are still issues, I would recommend consulting with an employment attorney and learning if the grievances are valid. Also, it depends what the issues are Are they personal, such as age discrimination? Or is it an issue with a boss or another employee? Or treatment by another employee?If you want to ensure your complaint gets the attention you feel it deserves, the best way to keep this conversation professional and between you and your manager is to come to an agreement on how to best handle the situation.When you approach your boss with your request, ask him/her if they willagreeto look at it and get back to you, advises Van Court.Agreementsare far better thanexpectationsbecause they represent a dialogue, where expectations are just something we place on someone whether they want it or not.Van Court notes that, if your boss agrees to look into your request, make sure you a sk for a date that you can both agree to that the issue can be resolved by. But, if its a more serious issue, such as sexual harassment or illegal actions, you will want to have this resolved within a shorter time period, if not immediately.Though making a complaint at work can feel intimidating, approaching the issue in a professional manner will help you reach a resolution.I think that the biggest difference between a complaint and constructive feedback is that constructive feedback is solution-oriented, says Weldy. Everybody needs to vent now and then, but make sure that the person youre complaining to is the right person - let small frustrations about scheduling, slightly annoying coworkers or not-so-fun tasks out during conversations with friends and family, not your boss. If you have a bigger problem to address, dont be shy about addressing it with your manager - youre both here to make your team better

How to Deal With a Boss Who Talks Too Much

How to Deal With a Boss Who Talks Too MuchHow to Deal With a Boss Who Talks Too MuchA typical conversation with my boss usually goes a little like thisMe Hi, I have a quick question about the report you asked me to write.Him Sure, let me just send this email. Ive been working on this all day and just finished- can you believe it? Im just so exhausted we have so much going on as we get ready for the summer trade shows. And to add to it all, Im trying to sell my house, which is an absolute nightmare. And.And it doesnt end. As much as I try to nod along in feigned interest, what Im really wondering is how I got caught up in an hour-long conversation when I had one simple question to ask. Instead of getting in, getting my answer, and getting my work done, I get stuck in a roundabout conversation that ends up covering everything from what my boss did over the weekend to his never-ending to-do list (which, frankly, would be much shorter if he didnt talk so much).Dealing with a boss who tal ks too much can be a sticky situation. On one hand, getting the info you need- and quickly- will help you do your job better, which will help him do his job better. But blatantly pointing out his less-than-helpful tendency to over-talk wont exactly get you on his list of favorite employees. As Ive adjusted to my talkative manager, Ive learned some tips that make day-to-day life much easier. Try these four so you can get what you need- and still keep the peace.1. Email When PossibleObviously, email isnt the ideal vehicle for complicated instructions or a coaching session with a lot of back-and-forth questions and answers. But emailing relatively simple questions and updates (e.g., Who would be a good resource for help with some abverkauf numbers? or Can you send me a list of customer contacts for testimonials?) can save you a lot of wasted time. Instead of enduring a long, rambling conversation (that may or may not actually end in an answer to your issue), you can sort through your m anagers musings in an email- and you andrang a much lower risk of your boss getting to the end of a winding thought and asking, What was your question again? 2. Preface the Conversation With a Time LimitTo stress that you dont have time for a long, drawn-out talk, mention a set time constraint at the beginning of the conversation. You could, for example, strategically stop by your managers office on your way to a meeting then, let her know immediately that you only have 10 minutes, but you were hoping she had time for a quick question. Or, catch your boss when you know hes on his way to a meeting (office stalking is usually pretty easy with shared team calendars) and ask if you can walk and talk as he heads to the conference roomKnowing that you only have a limited amount of time will help your manager get to the point- rather than assuming he or she can take all the time in the world to answer your question.3. Use Smart Body LanguageWhen youve been listening to your boss for a litt le too long, you can use some clever body language to convey that you need to get to the point- quickly.To encourage this before the conversation even starts, when you pop by your managers office, remain standing. This will convey that youre in somewhat of a hurry- rather than settling in to your managers extra chair, which can signal that you have plenty of time to chat. If youre already engaged in conversation and it grows long or off track, shifting in your seat or uncrossing and re-crossing your legs can signal that youve lost some interest in the topic and need to switch gears. Or, closing your notebook or laptop can signal that youre preparing to leave and the conversation needs to wind down- which can help you segue back to the reason why you came to your boss office in the first place (e.g., Before I go, can you confirm that the design is on the right track?).4. Interrupt (Just a Little)Interrupting your boss probably sounds like a terrible idea. But hear me out Done sparing ly- and respectfully- it can be an effective tool to focus a winding conversation. Simply listening and nodding, on the other hand, can encourage him or her to continue jumping from subject to subject.Say, for example, you went to your manager for some advice about how to approach writing a press release- and now, hes on a tangent, listing all the meetings hes supposed to attend this week. When he comes to the end of a thought (and before he can move on to another, even less related subject), interrupt Jim? Sorry to interrupt, but you mentioned earlier that itd be a good idea to first contact a sales rep internally to get some background information. Ive done that- what should my next step be? By actively bringing the conversation back to the original topic, this can actually make your boss more aware of how off track he has gotten and help him re-focus.A talkative boss can be a great conversation partner for lunch or after-work drinks. But he or she can be more of a hindrance when youre on a deadline and need to get your work done. While you may not be able to put a complete stop to this tendency, you can better manage it with these few simple tricks.Tell us How do you deal with a boss who talks too much?Photo of man talking courtesy of Shutterstock.

Google Is Your New Resume

Google Is Your New Resume Google Is Your New Resume Almost all (91 percent) of US employers have visited a job-hunters profile on social networks, and more than 69 percent of employers have rejected some applicants on the basis of what they found. Things that can get you rejected bad grammar or gross misspelling on your Facebook or LinkedIn profile anything indicating you lied on your resume any badmouthing of previous employers any signs of racism, prejudice, or screwy opinions about stuff anything indicating alcohol or drug abuse and any to put it delicately inappropriate content, etc.What is sometimes forgotten is that this works both ways. Sometimes 68 percent of the time, as it turns out an employer will offer someone a job because they liked what Google turned up about them.Is there anything you can do about this new Google resume of yours? Well, yes, actually, there are four things you can do1. EditFirst of all, think of how you would like to come across when you are bein g considered for a job. Make a list of adjectives youd like the employer to think of when they consider hiring you. For example, how about professional? Experienced? Inventive? Hard-working? Disciplined? Honest? Trustworthy? Kind? What else? Make a list.Then Google yourself and read over everything the search engine pulls up about you. Go over any pages you have put up on social sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube, and remove anything you posted there, or allowed others to post, that contradicts the impression you would like to make anything that might cause a would-be employer to think, Uh, lets not call them in after all.2. Fill InOn any site but on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Plaxo in particular if they allow you to fill out a profile, fill it out completely cross every t,dot every i, and have someone check your spelling. Leave no part of the profile blank unless you have a very good reason.Most importantly, be sure to keep each profile up to da te. Really up to date. Week by week, or at the least, month by month. There is nothing that makes you look less professional than having an obviously outdated profile.3. ExpandExpand your presence on the internet. How to do this? Several ways ForumsProfessional sites like LinkedIn have forums, or groups, organized by subject matter. Other social networking sites, like Facebook, have pages devoted to particular subjects. Look through the directory of those groups or forums, choose one or two that are related to your industry or interests, and after signing up, speak up regularly whenever you have something to say that will quietly demonstrate you are an expert in your chosen subject area. Otherwise, keep quiet. BlogsStart a blog, if you dont already have one. It doesnt matter what your expertise is if its related to the job you are looking for, do a blog, and update it regularly. Twitter23 percent of US adults use Twitter. Savvy employers know how to do Twitter searches on Google. Al l you have to figure out is which hashtags employers are likely to look for when they want to find someone with your expertise and experience. Videos Presentationis moving strongly these days toward the visual. People like to see you, not just read you.4. AddIt will take any employer or HR department some time to sift through all the stuff about you that may appear when they do a Google search. You would help them by summarizing and organizing the pertinent information about yourself. You do this by surprise composing an old-type resume. And you can post it on the internet (where Google will find it), as well as taking or sending it to an interested employer.This has been adapted from What Color Is Your Parachute? 2017 by Richard N.
