This document discusses various gestures that interviewers may display and how candidates should respond. It describes gestures like ignoring the candidate, keeping them waiting, keeping them standing, displaying a dismissive "who are you" attitude, teasing, or indicating the candidate is not required. The document advises candidates not to take these gestures personally, as interviewers are trying to judge how candidates handle negative situations. It provides examples of positive responses, like politely getting the interviewer's attention if ignored, or demonstrating your value if told you are not needed. The overall message is that interviews are a test where candidates must remain composed and convert any negative reactions into opportunities to showcase their skills.

Job Search Survival Kit -- Nasty People Can Be Tamed --Anthony Hines
The following is a presenation that discusses possible ways to handle people at work who are just plain nasty to be around. Hopefully these tips will help you out if you are dealing with this in the workplace.
Who Am I….I am a hardworking guy who, like many others, found himself out of work during the economic downturn in 2010. After a long battle of wrong turns, job search strategies that led to no where, and dead end leads, I decided to take a more strategic approach to my job search. Like anything else in life, I needed to treat my search like a full-time job and create a plan that would allow me to stand out above the competition. This came in especially handy as I was in transition again in 2017. Basically, I just used the tips that I have shared with others and was out of work a total of ZERO days. Yes, I got a job offer the day after my last day at my previous job. Let me show you how I did it so you too can have a quicker landing than you would have had without my tips.
Why Am I Sharing What Helped Me…because I quickly realized that to handle an event like that is to focus on what you can control and share the experience to help others. I believe that an experience not shared is a lost opportunity in life, and that smart people learn from their mistakes and smarter people learn from other people’s experiences. Plus, I told myself that once I figured this out I would share it with others so that they too could navigate the world of unemployment. In these chapters, I show you how I did it so that you will have the confidence to make it through the process. I hope that this presentation helps you to get your next great job.

Interview Handout
Selling yourself
During the interview, you are selling yourself. You need to explain how you are the best match for the job. At the beginning of the interview, listen to the interviewers. Let them explain the job, the duties, and the interview process. Use immediacy behaviors, be positive, and act confident but not aloof. Imagine yourself being the interviewer. How should someone behave if you were considering him or her for a job in your organization? As you answer your questions, explain how your traits are the traits needed for the job. Give specific examples about how you were creative or energetic or patient.
If you are interviewing for a teaching job, you would consider characteristics in excellent teachers including patience, caring, organized, and life-long learner. Think of examples where you have displayed these characteristics in your work or volunteer experiences. Have clear examples about how you have experience and expertise to carry out the duties of the job. You should also understand the company environment and know that you are a good fit. I was working with a search committee, and we were interviewing people for a community college assistant professor position. The man we were interviewing had the education and experience, but he did not understand the community college environment. We are student focused, and when he referred to community college students as “those students” and “students who could not begin at the university level,” we were not impressed. Our students choose to start at a community college because of various reasons. It is a great place to begin their college experience. The people on that committee and the faculty and staff at my college respect our students, many of whom are working, raising families, attending co-curricular activities, and are going to school full time. This individual used wording that angered me. He would not have been a good fit for our college. Know the priorities of the company or organization. You should also consider if you would feel comfortable in the environment as well.
Introducing yourself
The first few minutes of the interview is the most crucial. You will have bathed, cleaned your nails, hair, and brushed your teeth. Go easy on cologne or perfume. If you are interviewing for a professional job, wear a professional, well fitted suit that is black, pinstriped, or navy. Dress shirts or blouses are typically white. Shoes are professional, closed toe, clean, and match your belt. For more information, read the professional appearance chapter of this text.
Arrive 15 minutes early. Take a few minutes to look at yourself in a mirror and make sure that your clothes and makeup have not slipped or faltered on your way there. You should have a professional looking briefcase or satchel with a copy of your resume, cover letter, pad and pens, and portfolio with examples of your work. Always be friendly and respectful. Let the receptionist know that you have ar.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Gestures of Interviewer – When You Enter
Good morning friends, in the last lecture, I try to project different kind of or categories of
interviewer, I will always put a note of disclaimer, that is all the interviewers, they are all
selected based on their experience, their caliber, their qualifications, whatever may be the
kind of characteristics they belong to, each one of them are going to be very, very
contributing to the entire set of interview in the selection process, you have to judge
them, identify them in these categories that does not mean, that they will ever have their
negative impacts on you, know the point is it is just simply different kind of
characteristics.
Whenever there is a mandate for the interviewer to select somebody, they will always
have the responsibilities performed, that is why they have been selected, except one or 2
who may be there by protocol, when the interview board becomes too large, in such
cases there may be some of the interviewers who are really not that critical, or you know
does not make much of a contribution, it is a choice of the interview board creator, but if
it is a small group, but minded then in such cases each and every individual interviewer
has a lot of role to play. So, I have talked about, how one should categorize the
interviewer, but now let us talk about certain things about their gestures you know.
2. (Refer Slide Time: 02:14)
And that is where it is connected with body language, there are certain things you will be
communicated to you, in the whole interview process what happens is, as I said this is a
game plan it is a game play it is because of this, the interviewer has to behave or perform
in a certain manner, and that is guided by their gestures.
When you go for the interview, you will find there are certain gestures, when you enter
the interview room it is like try to imagine this, our room there is a door, in terms inside
how many people are sitting you have no clue, you are waiting outside one by one, your
competitors or other candidates they are entering after some time they are coming out,
you are watching them I suggested that you do not have to really take you know
feedback from them, because more you take the feedback more is a chance that you will
be biased, against or towards the interviewer, play in a green field you enter yourself
from then on till you come out of it, it is your field you play whether it now watch the
kind of gestures that generally interviewers give, whether it is single interviewer or a
group, you know when you enter the door is opened for you, by this attendant maybe or
you open it yourself, and you find that the interviewer is busy looking at some files, you
know he is looking at the files ignoring you.
This is one kind of gesture you may get, do not be judgmental do not be judgmental on
this, this is one gesture ignoring you, after some time suddenly he looks at you oh please
come in come and sit down that is what is the kind of response you get all right,
3. sometime you will find that the interviewer is keeping you waiting; that means, either
looking at this file or he is looking at something else, or maybe you know he is looking
to his other side he knows that you have entered, mind it once you have opened the door
and entered, already your entry has been taken note by the interviewer or a group of
interviewers, but you are being kept waiting, I will conclude these by the end of these
slide.
Another is keeping you standing these are different gestures you will face you will
experience, I will give you a clue that what it means what is what should be your
response, what should be your actions, but keeping your standing, another is like you
know looking at you as if you know with the who the hell are you attitude, I told this
earlier also looking at you entered through the door, it is a pre appointment you have
come in and he is looking at you at the door as the who the hell are you like that kind of
attitude, but again for got saying do not be judgmental on these know, another tease you
attitude you have entered you do not know what to do with the door he will pass a
remark like why do not you shut the door and come in, what did you come and sit down
it may not be, very courteous may not be it is a teasing you attitude, or one is that you are
not required as if why did you at all come and you are not required that kind of attitude.
Now, let me analyze it you know basically these gestures are kind of drama by the
interviewer, because a person has invited you for the interview for his own purpose, if
you get a job your purpose will be served that you are going to get a salary job, but his
purposes that he is going to get the right candidate, but through this basically his judging,
what is the kind of responses or actions that you have in case you are facing this, why
because once you are selected and be one of the member of their team, you are likely to
face a similar situation when you go to the other side of it; that means, if you are a
marketing man selected by this company, and then going to another company for sales
and marketing, and the person who have gone to meet may behave the same manner, this
person was to judge that what is the kind of reactions or responses that you perform that
is the judgment.
So, I said you do not be judgmental on these issues you do whatever is right, through this
they will have a very clear idea about, that how do you really respond to these kind of
situations all these situations are negative situations. So, you are pushed to a negative
situation to judge that how do you respond to negative situations, that is the basic idea.
4. See one thing you have to be very clear about you are invited for interview. So, you are
definitely welcome. So, it is the test, sometime I will tell you in the interview what
happens is, you know the interview showing roughness facial roughness, aggressiveness,
you may think that why I have been called when they do not want to take me as it
appears, you know like that they do not want to take me, then why did they invite me for
interview, let me make it one thing very clear, they have invited you because they might
need you, they want to test you.
So, this gestures take note of it, then you will not required this point let me clarify, see in
this if you are being ignored, then it is basically to see that if you are being ignored how
do you penetrate, I am giving you the kind of clue of actions of at your end, that is the
soft skill, if you are being ignored make sure that you are being attended to, that is the
training you must get how do you do it, sometime people they do like this make a sound
like that, or you know to catch attention of the person, who is not looking at you ignoring
you, or some time on the table somebody will tap, or somebody will say good morning
sir, or somebody’s we will say excuse me; that means, if you are being ignored, how do
you turn the table towards your favor and you catch attention of the person that is also a
test.
So, all these gestures that you are seeing apparently they are all negative gestures, but
through this negative situations, you are being judged in terms of your response nature of
response, your reactions, and the time taken for that particular response, never when you
enter an interview room and you find that there is only one interviewer and he is not
looking at you, never wait for long do not make it any eternal waiting, expecting that the
person will look at you and then give you a chance to you know talk to you or invite you
to sit, no if it is say after about 5 to 10 seconds after that you make such kind of situation
that you catch his attention, whether by saying good morning sir or may I come in sir see
you can say may I come in sir after you have entered, only to catch his attention that
tracked his attention. So, looking at files ignoring you is a gesture which is a very typical
game plan, another is keeping you waiting keeping you waiting or keeping you standing
in similar situation.
At this point what do you do, basically unless somebody asks you to sit you generally do
not sit all right, but suppose they do not the interview members or the one person
interviewer is not inviting you or offering you a seat, what do you do you will be
5. standing there, and give your interview no wait for a few seconds, give her a chance to in
offer you are said if it does not, then you volunteer saying can I sit, may I sit, you have to
offer this offering is basically a kind of training, like they are trying to test you, that if
you are asked not to said or rather sorry I put it in a different manner if you are not being
offered to sit, then how do you ensure that you get a seat for yourself, you can always say
good morning sir, may I sit, you can always do that these are the things which you have
to really practice, unless you practice it what happens is you are not ready for this
situation, why I am discussing all these different kind of situations.
So, that more you analyze it yourself and check it with your own past experiences or
others experiences, more you will be ready for the situations, responding to the right
response to the situations. So, if somebody keeps you standing that you must definitely
ask for a chair, and if somebody keeps you waiting then you definitely catch attention.
So, that your waiting time gets reduced, if somebody’s ignoring you definitely you catch
his attention, that is how you should do it that is through the body language, who the hell
are you attitude is somebody shows do not get annoyed, let him do that because he has
the authority to do that, it may look to be very courteous, but they are trying to see that if
you are given such kind of negative reactions, then how do you respond it and turn it to
positive, if suppose somebody gives you who the hell are you attitude then through your
interview and interactions, to your conversations and body languages, by the end of the
entire interview you take it to your positive dimensions, that is what has to be learned.
Tease you attitude if somebody does tease you, do not get annoyed, the tease you attitude
is just to check that what is the amount of emotional control you have, if you are being
teased then you should be countering that with a positive answer, if somebody tells you
in their debut, what is this you do not know this particular answer of this question, it is a
kind of teasing, it is derogatory it appears to be derogatory it appears to be humiliating,
whether thing is in that case you can definitely respond saying actually serve frankly
speaking we were not talk this, had I been talked I could have learned it I could have
answered you, you please try with another question, and if I have been talked if I am
exposed to it then I will be able to answer. So, something which has been humiliating
intonations which you are converting to your positives this is what is the soft skill you
know through your communication skills you are not required attitude, when somebody
says I will tell you everybody will try to give an attitude you know kind of reactions that
6. you are not required, your role is to turn it to you are required; that means, it is your role
mind it you have to prove to the person that, who already held a kind of impression that
you are not required.
How do you manifest in such a manner that you turn it to positive towards your side, I
have seen many cases when a salesperson enters, and the person who is supposed to buy
he says no we do not require this particular products, that person says I am not going to
sell you the product, I am going to explain you the benefits of this particular product, I
am not forcing you to buy this product, you see it for seeing you do not pay anything,
there is a very standard thing we hear isn’t it, that you do not have to pay anything for
seeing you go to a shop, and suppose you are seeing certain objects and they say that so
far seeing. So, we are we do not charge for you know seeing the objects, basically what
he is doing he is initially when you were not ready to buy, you are not even ready to see,
he makes you to see and by the time, you know you see more and more positives of that
it may. So, happen that you change your mind and you say in that case I can take this,
same is here you are not required is a reaction that is given to test, that how do you
convert it to your required situation.
This is what is very interesting. So, in the interview game I always say interview is a
game, when you are going you be prepared it is just like any other game you prepare
yourself at home, you prepare at workshops, you prepare at the training center, and then
you play on the field in the interview board. So, this is a game play and you do not know
here in only difference between the normal drum play, I said earlier that the whole thing
is a play, play means that place is the dramatics only difference between that kind of
thing and this interview is this, during a play every actors role is rehearsed before to the
perfections, then on the stage depending on the reaction of the audience, there are maybe
a little variations in the whole performances, but the performance is fairly structured, but
in the interview, the entire play is totally initially blind, you enter and then the game
starts and you do not know from which direction, what kind of questions will be filled it
to you, and what will be a reactions and answers.
So, it is a very, very serious affair and here I will I can assure you the kind of soft skills I
have been talking about, if you really take note of each individual soft skill and try to
train yourself, then you will find you will be a better person to respond to positively to
this kind of situations.
7. (Refer Slide Time: 16:45)
There are other kind of gestures frowning at you, know you enter the interview board
and somebody looks at you know the frown, not necessarily ignoring you, but frowning
at you know like it is also not same as who the hell are you, it is a frowning because that
person is you know when people frown when they are the faults come in the forehead,
the vertical 2 or 3 lines when it comes in the forehead, do you know it is like you know
when you are in a thinking mode you are thinking something, when you think you know
the lines get generated on our forehead and between the eyebrows, we are thinking
suppose you have entered the interview room and the person who was thinking
something and looking at you the frown will continue, you do not expect that suddenly
the whole frown will change no. So, do not misunderstand the frowning, see my
suggestion in the whole course of this this discussion of the soft scale is.
Never get disturbed or dejected by any negative reactions or actions never, because my
very purpose of telling you all these things is you are supposed to convert all the
negatives to positives. So, if somebody frowns at you, you look at him very normally
with a pleasant smile, with a soft smile, and then initiate a discussion if he does not, and
then the discussion you take it in such a direction that ultimately, he becomes very soft
and sober, and very comfortable, and then a smile is generated in his lips and then finally,
he becomes. So, comfortable with you or you become. So, comfortable with him that you
start discussing all positives and all good things, you know that is how the
communication comes. So, frowning that you does not mean that one means to you know
8. humiliate you, sometime you may find that in the gestures of the interviewer, expression
of disbelief what is that expression of disbelief, I have seen many cases I am just sighting
one or two.
Suppose a question has been asked and then you say, you give a response an answer and
then an immediate reaction of the interviewer is, what are you talking about, what are
you talking about. These are disbelief I will tell you may be 100 percent right. Quite
often what happens is this kind of disbelief is expressed by the interviewer when the ex-
interfering himself is not very sure about the answer. If he is very sure about the answer
he will immediately say yes absolutely perfect yes good. He will ask you another
question maybe, but if he does he is not very clear about the answer himself, but he shot
the question because he could think about the question, before thinking of the answer
then the immediate reaction could be disbelief. So, this is another gesture of interviewer
expression of disbelief, raised eyebrows is not frowning. Raised eyebrows is trying to
explore more of yourself, you know this you will see that these eyebrows will go up, like
this I cannot make it because I generally do not raise eyebrows unnecessarily if I am
being you know overwhelmed, or if I am being you know ecstatic in anything then my
eyebrows may go up, but I cannot do that kind of eyebrow when you really I have seen
people raised the eyebrows to this much you know almost here.
That raise raising the eyebrows is also by trick and the practice, but the raising eyebrows,
is another gesture which will be very commonly seeing folded arms like this, I have
talked about these folded arms open arms and hands behind, but I am just repeating here
for the interviewers if the interviewer is sitting all through interviewing you with the
folded arms then you can take it for granted, that he is not very serious about the
interview now he cannot do this he is supposed to have a normal body posture and then
take your interview. So, if he is folded arms if he is folded arms and then suddenly
unfolds; that means, you are now breaking the eyes you can take it for granted, that he
are broken the eyes the person who was not very much interested to listen to you and you
started saying something which has created interest in his mind, then his reaction would
be automatically opening the hands unfolding the hands, and then or unfolding the arms
and then after some time if you find that he is progressing towards you; that means, he is
taking more interest in you.
9. So, unfolding then unfolding and then you know crossed legs and then crossed legs, if
somebody’s you know if you find somewhere some interviewer you have gone to he is
sitting the folded hands, and the cross legs you can take it for granted the interview is not
a serious affair, there because if a person is with a cross leg means, he is trying to prove
to you or show to you that he is a highly comfortable, you know sometime you will find
that the somebody is listening to you, I gave this indication earlier also somebody is
listening to you like this apparently he is paying attention to you. In fact, he has a double
mind one mind here, communicating with you another mind is somewhere else he is
thinking something else. So, if it is a crossed leg; that means, he is very comfortable
there you cannot sit cross legs during the interview when you are giving an interview you
cannot have cross legs.
But the person who is taking interview he can have a cross legs and then if you find say
now you see folded arms and the cross legs, it is most calm for the interviewer if you
find that the interviewer has unfolded the hands; that means, he is taking interest in you
or he is trying to give you a hint that enough, you can leave now if somebody has a cross
leg; that means, he is feeling very comfortable and wants to it show to you that he is
most comfortable situation, and then if he unfolds or rather takes a breaks the across legs,
then it is almost giving a hint that it is time is over these hints you have to take. So, here
the body languages has to understood, but always there is a chance that you might
misunderstand the body language not every time, you know you try to be judgmental
about it if you keep on seeing more and more, you know best is to watch different
people’s movement, and then see the reactions responses make your own judgment.
So, cross legs is comfort showing comfort and unfolding legs means now it is enough,
now we are concluding our discussion no further you know, but if you see that the folded
arms got unfolded, and the cross legs now become unfolding legs, and then he is leading
towards you forward to you; that means, he is taking interesting you.
10. (Refer Slide Time: 23:46)
Now, the question is the body language during interviews, this I will highlight certain
points. It is very, very important you remember I said that when you are going for the
interview the time you have entered into the premises, from there you when enter to the
gate, to the reception from the reception lobby to the interview room, and then after the
interview through the reception lobby to entry exit gate, and then out, every situation
your body language is going to give some indications or signals to everybody who is
watching, now that everyone is concerned about you an example you have gone for an
interview in a company in an office.
The security man who is at the main gate is not concerned about you are giving an
interview getting or not getting, he is only concerned about are you sober, are you proper
are you properly dressed, are you the right candidate he is going to ensure that, at that
time do not show arrogance I have seen people see at the security gate, you know the
candidate is charging the security person, I have been called for the interview is
something like you know this kind of reaction, I have heard, I have been called for the
interview this is the time. So, I should get in do not be sober be sober you have been
invited the security persons role at the gate is to ensure that you are the right candidate to
enter. So, he is doing his duty, do not show your power do not show your authority, do
not show your power of invitation to the security man, he is a poorly paid a low paid
person, but he is doing his duty diligently.
11. So, told to that here the thing is when you enter the premises from then on if suppose you
are sober, what would be a reaction you go to the security gate, and then talk to a security
person you go yourself do not you do not make the security person ask you. So, where do
you want to go, do not make him ask you straightway go to the security person and you
say that I have been called for this interview can you tell me where shall I go, very
simple question and you will give a very nice answer very soft answer. So, say he look
up your interview call later, then he will say sir can you go from the here to here, you
will be extra helpful to you by guiding that you go from here and then you turn right and
then you get lift lobby from there you go to that floor. And so, you know it makes a hell
of a lot of difference that how you initiate the kind of body language or your verbal
language.
So, at the entry the next is the space occupied, once you have entered how do you occupy
the space, space occupation when I am talking about reception area how you occupy a
space, when I am talking about the interview room how you occupy a space, every space
is assigned in your interview in the reception lobby there are so many waiting lounge
chairs, and there may be say you can sit anywhere maybe, but if suppose you are being
guided that you sit there, you please do that do not question you do not question, why
should I say there I can sit there why should you say that you simply if suppose you are
being guided by the person at the reception lobby. So, please take your seat, you say
thank you and sit that is the soberness and that is a good gesture, and space occupied
how do you occupy the space now I have also seen waiting for the interview, final
interview call waiting for half an hour a person initially was sitting and then after some
time he leaning forward the legs are spread in the front, not even bothering that what will
happen if somebody is trying to pass by, his legs are like this or some time I found that
somebody is sitting on a low couch in the reception lobby waiting for the interview, the
one leg here the another leg is in such a way that the boot is very close to the other
persons face, what is this these are all bad gestures I will tell you this also plays very
important role.
Every gesture how you occupy your space, is going to be very well calculated by you,
and it should be always a reflection of your dignity and soberness, then the chair
movement if suppose you go to the reception lobby and the sofas are almost fixed. So,
you have nothing to do, but suddenly you with a thump you sit on the. So, for that is not
12. the right way do it very softly, and suddenly you get up that is also not the right way to
do it very softly, ifs over there lose chairs do not drag the chairs making a lot of
screeching sound, and make your comfortable position no do not try to shift the chairs
wherever they are let them be, if it is if the chairs are with casters then do not sit there
and rotate like this, no make a very gentle seating. So, chair movement is very important,
sometime the chair woman inside the interview room in interview room, suppose you
have been given a chair like this and you keep on rotating your body when you are
talking like that is very distracting and disturbing, do not do that it is very, very
important I will go to the details of this in my next set of lectures.
Then comes the height, what I am talking about here is the body language during
interviews; that means, your body language as a person who is facing the interview, I am
not tall commenting on the body language of the interviewer. So, all my discussions are
focused towards you as a person who is going to go for interview.
So, how you enter how you enter the premises, how you enter the reception lobby, how
you enter that interview room, space occupied how you occupy a space in the reception
lobby, how do you occupy a space inside the interview room, chair movement how you
really move the chairs in the reception lobby, or in the interview room and then comes
the question of heights, if you are a tall person means how you take care of your height, I
will go to the details of this let me introduce you to the all these points first, then the
posture is how should you postures I have talked enough in my earlier classes, how
really you manifest your stretcher bend how you bend, how much you bend, how do you
put your elbows how you put your hands, how do you bend your body, how do you bend
your legs, how you put your hands, elbows the shoulders I have tops it enough.
But I will give you certain clues further, then comes the eye movements this is also I
have talked about quite extensively, but here basically at every level the eye movement at
the reception lobby your eye movement is very critical, in in the reception lobby if you
keep on looking at all the candidates very, very repeatedly you know with the roving
eyes of very bad culture, you do not have to you have been given a space sit there
quietly. So, eye movements during the interview how you have movement of your eyes, I
will go to the details of this, and then the last one that I will talk about is the lies means
untruths the body language you know quite often I have found that the candidate who is
lying, I gave you some hint in my last lecture that somebody who said that I know some
13. see some java I gave that example, basically the candidate was lying, the candidate did
not know either of these none of these languages it was a lie, which was very clearly
reflected. So, lies so, pointers all these body languages during a interview you have to
really control. In my next set I will discuss a little more in detail about each one of that.
Thank you.
