10 key points for effective communication in a job interview


The job interviews have a structure that may affect the lives of individuals at an important degree. The Academic Member Dr. Zeynep Burcu Şahin, who said that the job interviews may be fruitful and effective upon acquirement of experience on effective communication, told about what should be done and not done at an interview in 10 steps.


In the first meeting with someone else, an opinion is formed up in a short period of time. The individual, most of the time, may not know about the source of this opinion. The brain analyses and transmits various numbers of matters from the body language up to the way of dressing, accessories used and tone of voice felt of the person standing in face of it. Leaving a positive or negative impression on somebody happens within a short period of time. The Academic Member Dr. Zeynep Burcu Şahin from the Department of the Public Relations and Publicity of the Faculty of the Applied Sciences of the Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), who indicated that it might be possible to go through a successful job interview upon application of effective modes of communication in order to leave a good and sound impression at job interviews, further emphasized that there were the channels of expressions through the body language apart from the oral communication.

CORDIALITY; MOST DIFFICULT FEELING TO IMITATE

It is necessary not to disregard that the standing, way of looking, tone of voice and emphasises are a kind of reflection of the state of mind. The Academic Member Dr. Zeynep Burcu Şahin, who indicated that the most difficult feeling to imitate in a communication is the cordiality by saying ‘’Even if the person in face of us does not have any knowledge about the reading of a body language, he/she will sense or perceive our cordiality and reliability to a great extent in an instinctive manner’’, further emphasized that the non-verbal communication does not only consist of the body language, gestures and mimics used, and it would be possible for the colours preferred, accessories used and conformance of the dressing preferences to the available ambience to give opinion about the individual.

THINGS TO DO OR NOT TO DO IN A JOB INTERVIEW

On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that the waiting rooms are the areas convenient for observation.

2- Listen to the person in face of youFor an effective communication, you have to listen to the person in face of you. Turn all the time and entirely to the person(s), with whom you talk.

5- Be open to criticisms Take necessary attention and care to the criticisms as well as verbal and non-verbal reactions.

6- Let your hand be free and apparent all the timeKeeping your hand under the table and in your pockets may give a feeling of the lack of confidence in the person standing in face of you.

7-  Make gestures at convenient degree and dimensionComfortable and sound gestures will reflect your self-confidence and good command in the subject matter. Keep away from involvement in nervous and tense gestures.

8- Make an eye contact A convenient eye contact; it constitutes an indication of interest and confidence on the one hand and ensure that you keep the attention of the person in face of you alive on the other.
