PSYchology

Impress, Persuade and Succeed with Body Language

How long does it take for an HR manager to form an opinion about us when we come to get a job? In one tenth of a second (this is established with modern equipment). Of course, during this time we will not have time to open our mouths! So all we have at our disposal to make the right impression is body language. Alan Pease was the first to tackle this important topic. And he made a high-profile career and fortune. But Alan Pease is not a psychologist, but an entrepreneur. This time we have a guide created by a professional. The author holds the post of chief psychologist in an international consulting company in management psychology. He is a solid man (at the end of each chapter there is a list of scientific literature), but not boring: he addresses his first thanks to his wife, “who tolerates my absence, forcing me to work, while setting a firm condition that I should not drink a single sip of Chardonnay” until I hit my 1500-word quota for the day.» A separate advantage of the publication is its design: thick paper, large print, wide margins. It is not a shame to present, it is pleasant to take it in hand, while reading it is easy to make underlining and notes. Fun pictures, exercises and highlighted tips, examples and conclusions make it easy to remember. And not a single question that might arise during the reading will remain unanswered. By the way, here is the answer for those who are interested in what the HR manager does all the time left for the interview: he spends it looking for signs that confirm the first impression!
