Importance of Non-Verbal Communication
Whether you are in some sort of gathering or in an interview, the mix of verbal in addition to non-verbal communication ( postures , gestures and body language ) are most important. On numerous occasions we tend to overlook the requirement of transmitting the correct non-verbal signals and wind up conveying inappropriate messages. Employers always look at the candidate’s who have balance between non-verbal in addition to verbal communication in an interview. Certain non verbal signals such as professional looks, hand-shake, confidence, eye contact and overall body gesture are essential in recruitment practice. If a candidate continuously rolls his eyes as well as fidgeting, Interviewer immediately realizes that he or she is lying.

Below are the Non-verbal gestures we should keep in mind in an Interview process:

Non-verbal : The approach with which you exchange cards, your handshake in addition to 
eye contact – all create impact within the first few seconds of your interaction with the interviewers. In addition, pay attention about your uniform and accessories since they too send quick non-verbal impulses.

Posture:  In numerous cases recruiter give attention to the candidate’s overall presentation – beginning the moment when they enter work premise to the time he or she leaves the recruiter’s area. Maintaining a right balance in posture is always impressive. 

Fidgeting:  Doodling, tapping your feet, touching your hair/ face , drumming your fingers  – all conveys wrong gesture. Instead minimize your body language gestures so your interviewers can give attention to your words and not get distracted because of your non-verbal signals / impulses.

Space: Those who find themselves under-confident tend to shrink within their own systems, reducing the place they use up physically and within the minds of these listeners. In an interview, stay confident in addition to use hand gesture.

If one of the above non-verbal signal requirement is not met, the interviewer starts cross-questioning rounds with all the candidates. Recruiters put candidates in an uncomfortable zone by cross-questioning. This technique helps recruiter to know whether the candidate is right for the position or not. 

Weightage between verbal and non-verbal communication varies in several Organizations. It's vital to strike a balance between the two for a thriving or successful communication. Firms are getting extra careful in the selection of the candidate and even after recruiting the employees they are giving training on communication skills to boost up interaction with the client.

Top Mistakes in Salary Negotiation :  


Expectations - It is not a good idea to reveal your salary expectations in the beginning of an interview. We should first evaluate the Job Responsibilities, Timings or working hrs and all other conditions.   

Values over needs - During wage settlement, the highlight needs to be on your own values rather than your requirements. Consider what values you possess towards the company.

Negotiate by yourself - It is always better not to include anyone else in negotiation process with the employer. It does not look professional.

Limited exploration – Always perform adequate search over internet prior to the job interview. There are lots and lots of information available on internet for almost all the organizations. Info like pay for the Position , Skills , Location.     

Written Proof – Make sure that you get the job offer in writing. This will ensure that you are never cheated at any moment of time.

Early Acceptance – Always take time to think about the job being offered, never hurry to accept the offer this may put you in serious trouble.  

Other Compensation / Rewards – Do not reject the offer soon if you don’t like the salary offered. Instead ask for the time and look for the advantage and disadvantages of the organization. If the company has good incentives / rewards plan then it may be a bad decision of rejecting the offer soon.
