How to connect with your interviewer - Sterling Career Concepts

How to connect with your interviewer How to connect with your interviewer There are  two goals  to any employment interview:   showing  you do can do the job, and making a personal connection with the interviewer, because after all, people hire people they like. Chris Perry, of  Career Rocketeer and Launchpad  fame, recently published  an entry on  BrandCamp Universitys blog,  Are You Connecting with Your Interviewer? that  shared five great suggestions to help  candidates  click with their interviewer. Its a great read (and Im not just saying that because Chris  was kind enough to include my own advice!) Ill include a bonus tip for my readers here:   When it comes to making this connection, your non-verbal language is just as critical  as what youre saying.  Lean forward, in towards  your interviewer, to appear genuinely interested in the conversation and the position at hand.   Mirror your interviewers mannerisms (generally speaking, of course)  to show interest and create rapport.   Similarly, tilt your head to one side to show interest in whats being discussed, and occasionally  nod your head to convey that you are in agreement  and on the same page.   Utilizing  these tips will  help ensure you get called back for another round.
