Body language tips that will help you get the job

PROJECTING THE RIGHT IMAGE: Your body language plays a very important role at a job interview.

So you’ve made it to the interview stage of the application process but are you ready to show your most positive, employable side? Body language plays a huge role in how we’re perceived – not slouching or crossing your arms are the obvious actions to avoid, but what about the less obvious signs? Making these small changes will certainly improve your chances of getting the job you applied for.

1. What are your hands saying?

Playing with your hair or tie, or clutching a bag or glass for longer than needed will make you look tense and nervous. Keep your palms up and open to show honesty and receptiveness and remember a firm handshake is the quickest way to establish rapport.

2. Look like you mean it

Making direct eye contact can be intimidating but the trick is to try and relax and listen. By focusing 100% on what your interviewer is saying you will naturally focus your eyes on theirs while showing interest and alertness.

3. Lean forward to listen

Leaning ever-so slightly forwards signifies you’re interested and focused.

4. Go slow

Think before replying to questions and try not to rush through your answers. If you need to take a moment, take it. Pause, think, reply – it’s important to be in control rather than letting yourself ramble.

5. Pick a positive role model

What media personalities do you think have particularly good body language? Check out their interviews and see if there’s anything you can learn. A winning smile is usually key!

6. Dress for the job you want

Before the interview find out the company’s dress code and match it. While over-dressing won’t harm your chances of getting the job, under-dressing almost certainly will.

7. Practice

Stand in front of a mirror and practice introducing yourself and answering a simple interview question such as ‘How do you see yourself fitting in our company?’. You’ll instantly realise when you need to increase and decrease your positive body language signals.
And if this is too much for you to remember another handy tip is to subtly imitate any positive body language signals your interviewer is making. If they’re smiling and relaxed, you should try to do the same. While good body language alone won’t get you the job you always wanted, it will definitely help in projecting a confident and professional image of yourself.

5 Entrepreneurial Lessons from Counter Strike - " FUTURGENZ "

Have you “Fired in the Hole”? 5 Entrepreneurial Lessons from Counter Strike






Gaming has fascinated mankind ever since , Counter Strike, a game which was developed by two friends Minh lee and Jess Cliffe from their college dorm, is religiously played on 200,000 servers, by more than 500,000 people online and has sold over 27,000,000 units since it was released publicly in 1999. More than 13 years later, it is still one of the most played online game in the world.

So, what has made the game sticky and why is good for a startup to play CS together for a while? Some good lessons:

Teamwork – While most other games focus on the single player and his abilities to accomplish the mission, Counter Strike is all about teamwork in order to achieve the goal. One person cannot just go alone and defuse the bomb or rescue the hostages. Same goes with entrepreneurship; it gets extremely difficult to manage everything on our own. Trusting teammates is the most important thing in the entrepreneurial journey.  So next time when you face fire, just shout “Need Backup” on your Radio!

Objective is Everything – In most other games the gameplay is over when you die, but in counter strike team strives towards to goal even when the “Commander is Down”. Same way startups face many glitches while working towards their dreams, and in spite of the gunfire the team faces they should not lose sight of the ultimate goal and keep moving forward.

Freedom – Teamwork does not mean that the whole team always sticks together. It means using every body’s strength and area of expertise to achieve a particular goal. As soon as a round starts and freeze time is over, the sniper finds a suitable location and eliminates the opposition.  In a similar manner, an organization becomes most efficient when we allow people to do things that they are good at, rather than forcing them to do something else. Someone who is good at convincing people will make a great salesman rather than being a coder.

Choosing the right team – In the team selection screen we are presented with all the people who manage our team, along with their capabilities, some are good skill wise, some are brave and some are very cooperative.  We have to choose a mix of all team to bring out the best of everybody for our startup and attain our goal, before we say “Go team Go!”

Resource management – Deciding the right weapon to choose and using ammunition wisely has a very important role in winning the round. While AK-47 is very damaging, it lacks in accuracy. A machine gun can carry upto 100 rounds but reduces mobility. And moreover when you use grenades and flash bangs you have to be very precise and accurate as they are very limited. While running a startup we have be extremely careful about the cash flow and be frugal in our approach.

So what are you waiting for, just go and “Fire in the Hole!”

Applicant or Candidate.

Sometimes I see the most interesting conversations on Twitter.  Like this one.  A group was discussing the difference between applicants and candidates.

I must say that I have a tendency to use the words interchangeably.  Even though, when I really think about it, there’s a difference.  I believe applicants are the people who apply for jobs.  Candidates are the ones who are chosen to get an interview.

That being said, I also feel companies have an obligation to both – applicants and candidates.  The question becomes should the obligation bethe same?  Should applicants be treated the same as candidates?  Or once you become a candidate should the expectation change (and, I assume, become greater)?

On one hand, both applicants and candidates are potentially past, current or future customers.  So I’d like to think this is important and merits giving everyone a certain level of attention.  On the other hand, for candidates you actually see and talk to…this should create some sort of relationship (albeit a short one) that deserves more.

Tell me.  I’m interested in your thoughts on this one.

• Should applicants and candidates receive the same level of service?
• As a manager, is it acceptable to treat applicants and candidates differently?
• If you were a candidate, would you expect the same response an applicant gets…or something better?

Job candidates need to ask Questions too !

There’s always lots of conversation about the need for hiring managers toask good questions. But that advice is just as important for job candidates too. Here’s a reader question that really brings the point home:

Hi Sharlyn. Can you recommend any reading about surviving a toxic manager? I was just let go from a position that I held temporarily for 7 months.

The real reason? My boss’ drinking buddies (literally) didn’t like me – she used a circle of them as spies and enforcers. My evaluations were all satisfactory but laced with snarky and false comments.

I will be OK. Mostly, I just don’t want this to happen again. Can you assist?

Just because you’re interviewing for a job doesn’t mean you can’t ask questions. And not only the superficial ones about the mission statement of the organization. It’s equally important for candidates to feel at ease with the work environment. Here are a few suggestions to help candidatesduring the interview process:

1. Check out Glassdoor.com and see what others are saying about the company.
2. Develop one question that you can ask each person you interview with. Something like, “Name one word to describe the company culture.” Listen carefully to how each person responds. Then put the answers together and (trust me) it will paint a picture.
3. Ben Eubanks, author of the blog Upstart HR, wrote a great post titled “14 Ways to Research as a Job Candidate”. I really liked his question on what types of behaviors are rewarded. Check out his post.

Lastly, make sure you’re comfortable with the interview that happens with your potential manager. I know candidates want the job. But I can’t tell you how many times an employee has come to HR and admitted that they wanted the job so badly, they ignored all the red flags the manager was sending. And I don’t mean red flags as in “something is wrong”. Red flags as in the employee and manager were destined to never get along.

Interviewing is a two-way street. Neither the company nor the candidate will know everything about each other. But develop a strategy to learn as much as possible and make sure that you can honestly live with what you know. Otherwise, someone is going to end up being miserable.

What other interview questions or tips would you suggest for this reader? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!

Fix the Slump.

Ever see this diagram? (It’s from comedian Demetri Martin.)

I like this, because I think it’s true. From the outside, success looks like effortless progress; from the inside, we discover the journey is a lot more complicated. In fact, the most interesting part of the line is where it turns sharply downward, into one of those nasty-looking tangles where progress stops, development stalls, and frustration rises. It raises an interesting question:

What’s the best way to fix a slump?

Normally, when we hit a slump, we experience an overwhelming instinct to ignore it — to shut our eyes and just try harder, and hope things change.  That makes sense — and it feels satisfying. But is it the best way?

We find an interesting case study from Andrew McCutchen, the Pittsburgh Pirates centerfielder. Drafted in 2005, McCutchen was a can’t-miss prospect, a first-round pick who performed outstandingly well for two years in the Pirates minor leagues — until, suddenly, he hit a dry spell. He stopped hitting. His average dropped to a puny .189. This was it: McCutchen’s slump, his crisis; his line was headed straight for the basement.

In this case, the Pirates organization used a surprising strategy. When McCutchen hit his downturn, they flew hitting coach Gregg Ritchie to visit him. Ritchie carried a piece of paper:  a print-out of McCutchen’s hitting flaws — specific, targeted problems with his swing mechanics that Ritchie had noted a year and a half earlier.

Until that moment, McCutchen didn’t know the list existed. But now, working with Ritchie, he used this list of flaws like a blueprint. He lowered his hand position; he shifted his weight — together, player and coach fixed his swing. And it worked: McCutchen got out of his slump, and kept moving up. He’s now an All-Star.

I like this story because I think it gives us insight into how to best handle these downturn moments. We instinctively want to do it alone; to lift ourselves back on that upward track out of sheer will.

But what works better is to approach the slump more like a science problem. Cool off the emotion. Collaborate and gather information. Figure out the shortcoming, and start re-wiring the improvement. In a word, be agile.

I also like it because it shows the importance of organizational agility. The Pirates handled this well, because they understood when to make the intervention. Coach Ritchie knew all along McCutchen’s swing had potential problems, but he didn’t try to fix those problems early on because his swing was working (as McCutchen said, if coaches had tried to correct him, he would have ignored them — and rightly so). No, the Pirates wisely waited until the the problem arose — until they had McCutchen’s full and desperate attention. Then, together, they went to work and built a better swing.

Fixing slumps is not about solo strength. It’s about group agility.

Press Yourself to be Out their !

In a job interview, you always want to conduct yourself in a manner that exudes self esteem and confidence because let’s face it; you will never land a job you don’t believe you will get.  The secret to instantly appearing confident is P.R.E.S.S., which stands for: 

• Posture Straight
• Relaxed Body
• Eye Contact
• Smiling
• Speak Clearly

 Now I know what you’re saying to yourself – “Clever acronym and we get it, but how is this image speaking clearly?”  Well friends, Dr. Cox has an abundance of confidence that shows almost everyday. He is confident and exudes positive self esteem, for himself at least. Even though he can be hard on his interns, they all look up to him and strive to be like him.

You Start selling when you hear a "No"

In August 2008 Marc Hogan was bet £1 that he couldn’t become a stand up comic in less than 12 months and perform a one man comedy show at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival in August 2009 for 21 nights. He won the bet!

Last week whist travelling abroad to present to an international audience I met Peter Davies the Director of Selective Search Recruitment. We were talking about sales (as you do) and he said something that I thought was really perceptive.

He said, “Selling is easy when you get on well with the customer and they are interested in your product or service, in fact we’ve all had those sales calls where it feels more like a conversation than a sale. But the truth is, in a competitive market you only really start selling when you hear a ‘no’ from a potential customer…”

Peter is completely right.  We all enjoy sales when it’s going well, but when it’s tough that’s when you really start to earn your keep.

I’m often asked to provide advice on telephone prospecting and cold calling, which is the place where salespeople are most likely to hear the word “no”.  Although cold calling is often seen as the most difficult aspect of a salesman’s job, the truth is, yes it is tough, but having cold called a lot of people over the years from the comfort of my office and then having approached at least 150 people a day at the Edinburgh festival to ensure I got ticket sales and the all-important comedy audience, I know it gets easier.  What’s more, contrary to popular belief, it won’t kill you!

When cold calling it’s vitally important that you have a solutions-based opening when phoning potential new clients.

Here is an idea to get you started:

“Good Morning Mr(s) _______ my name is _____from_____ .  The reason I’m calling is that we’ve been recently working with (respected industry player), and had some fantastic results and I believe we have something that could really help you…..”

Dealing with the “No”

“No, I’m not interested we already have a have a preferred supplier.”

At that point the easiest thing in the world to do would be to say, “sorry for bothering you” then hang up the phone and gently weep to yourself whilst rocking forwards and backwards before deciding it’s time to take a break and have a tea /coffee / cigarette/ or even a piece of fruit (if you’re a health nut) and sneak away from your desk for as long as possible.

I’ll be the first to admit that I developed a 10 tangerine a day habit whilst cold calling.  So in the interests of helping those of you who don’t want their hands to turn orange and want to avoid having to call even greater numbers of people to meet your targets, here is a possible response to that initial ‘no’…

“Of course, some of our biggest clients were in exactly the same position until they saw how we could really help them. May I ask who you’re currently using?”

Now I’m not stupid.  I know that some people will still tell you that they are not interested and hang up the phone.  However, you would be surprised how many people will answer the question.

Here are a couple of options to take the call forward.

Option A

“Oh, that’s interesting, you’re using _____, then we really should get together, a number of our best clients used to work with them until they saw the quality of our service…”

Option B

“Oh, you’re using _____, then we really should get together; a number of our best clients saw great results when they saw how we complemented their existing supplier…”

The truth is selling is a mental game and if we let our Editor win (see my 7 keys for more info) we will often close the door on a sale before it’s even begun because we don’t like to hear the word ‘no’ and/or we are worried about appearing to be pushy.

I always remember selling my comedy show at Edinburgh, as I mentioned I would have to talk to about 150 people a day over a 10 hour shift to guarantee at least 20 ticket sales.  Many of those people had spent most of their day being ‘flyered’ and some were openly hostile but every day I tried different ways to get round the ‘no’ response. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn’t, but when it did, what a feeling….

Marshmallow Aka Will Power.

The granddaddy of willpower science is the “marshmallow experiment”. Devised by Walter Mischel in 1972, it’s a classic of social psychology and the bedrock for all later research on willpower and self-control. In it, researchers left four year olds alone in a room with a marshmallow and told them that if they could wait until the experimenter returned they’d get two.

You can watch a video of the experiment here (if you have the willpower). I really love the kid at 2.45.

A notes to help you earns some NOTE'S (Interview Tips)

There are few things that feel better than walking out of a job interview you think you've nailed. But just because you've answered the last question doesn't mean the evaluation process is over. From the time you stand up, to the time you get into the elevator, leave the building or walk to your car, you're still under review. Previously, we discussed things to do at a job interview before you even sit down. Here are five things to do after you stand up. They just might be as important as the Q&A itself.

Engage in conversation

As you leave the office, continue your conversation, even if it's small talk. "You can talk about the weekend, the rest of your day, ask the interviewer about the rest of their day. But you want to show that you're poised even at this point," says Carolina Ceniza-Levine, career coach with Six Figure Start and co-author of How the Fierce Handle Fear: Secrets to Succeeding in Challenging Times.

Second job interview: 5 ways to seal the deal

7 signs you're acing a job interview

Keep your chin up

Regardless of how you think the interview went, leave the office with positive body language. "Exude energy and confidence until you leave the grounds. You never know who is watching you, so it pays to act the part all the way through," says Cheryl Palmer, founder of Call to Career, a career coaching firm. Act like the job is as good as yours -- and it very well might be.

Hold your tongue

Your cell phone should stay safely inside your bag until you leave the building. "You never know who is sharing the elevator down or walking behind you as you leave the building," says Meryl Weinsaft Cooper, co-author, Be Your Own Best Publicist: How To Use PR Techniques to Get Noticed, Hired and Rewarded at Work. Because of that, don't start to give your friends and family the skinny on your interview performance just yet. "Wait until you are a safe distance away -- or better yet, in the privacy of your own home," says Weinsaft Cooper. 

Ask for the next step

Inquiring about when the interviewer expects to make a decision gives you valuable information for your job search and lets them know that you're serious about pursuing the position. "Don't act confused or insecure if you're told they're not sure. Focus on ensuring that the interviewer know how much you enjoyed the meeting him or her are looking forward to future communication. Leave on a confident note!" says Tracy Brisson, founder and CEO, The Opportunities Project, a career coaching firm for younger employees.

Thank the receptionist or assistant

Interviewers may speak to the receptionist or their assistant to see if they had any first impressions of you, so leave a good one with them, too. "Make conversation [but] keep it upbeat and positive. Listen to what they are saying," says David Couper, career coach and author ofOutsiders on The Inside: How to Create A Winning Career -- Even When You Don't Fit In! And most importantly, say thank you -- to your interviewer, the receptionist, assistant and the building security. It can't hurt to be pleasant to someone, and not doing so can be damaging.

 I recently came across this video from the folks at HR.com While the debt to Monster’s “When I Grow Up…” campaign from several years ago is rather obvious, this one concentrates all its sarcasm and sardonic humor on the human resources industry.

New Business !? Than this is perfect for you.

Are you Sourced out or Well Outsourced?

Outsourcing an "Asset"

"Outsourcing" -- The practice of using outside firms to handle work normally performed within a company -- is a familiar concept to many entrepreneurs. Small companies routinely outsource their payroll processing, accounting, distribution and many other important functions -- often because they have no other choice.

But not many businesses thoroughly understand the benefits of outsourcing. It's true that outsourcing can save money, but that's not the only (or even the most important) reason to do it. Wise outsourcing, however, can provide a number of long-term benefits:

Control capital costs. "Cost-cutting may not be the only reason to outsource, but it's certainly a major factor". Outsourcing converts fixed costs into variable costs, releases capital for investment elsewhere in your business, and allows you to avoid large expenditures in the early stages of your business. Outsourcing can also make your firm more attractive to investors, since you're able to pump more capital directly into revenue-producing activities.

Increase efficiency. Companies that do everything themselves have much higher research, development, marketing and distribution expenses, all of which must be passed on to customers. An outside provider's cost structure and economy of scale can give your firm an important competitive advantage.

Reduce labor costs. Hiring and training staff for short-term or peripheral projects can be very expensive, and temporary employees don't always live up to your expectations. Outsourcing lets you focus your human resources where you need them most.

Start new projects quickly. A good outsourcing firm has the resources to start a project right away. Handling the same project in house might involve taking weeks or months to hire the right people, train them and provide the support they need. And if a project requires major capital investments (such as building a series of distribution centers), the startup process can be even more difficult.

Focus on your core business. Every business has limited resources, and every manager has limited time and attention. Outsourcing can help your business to shift its focus from peripheral activities toward work that serves the customer, and it can help managers set their priorities more clearly.

Level the playing field. Most small firms simply can´t afford to match the in-house support services that larger companies maintain. Outsourcing can help small firms act "big" by giving them access to the same economies of scale, efficiency and expertise that large companies enjoy.

Reduce risk. Every business investment carries a certain amount of risk. Markets, competition, government regulations, financial conditions and technologies all change very quickly. Outsourcing providers assume and manage this risk for you, and they generally are much better at deciding how to avoid risk in their areas of expertise.
