Have You Been Taking Good Care of Yourself?

Think of yourself as a brand, then consider the many great brands and their defining slogans. To name a few, Netflix’s “One Story Away” and Airbnb’s “Belong Anywhere”. Slogans carry a brand’s values. For example, Volvo’s “For Life” slogan is coherent with how safety is the core idea behind all Volvo Cars. Translating this into a career narrative for your personal brand, it truly is a bit of a marketing job to craft one, where you define your very own Unique Selling Proposition (USP), deliver a brief powerful pitch on your CV, and aim to secure that first interview.

Studying Interview Body Language

We are visual creatures, processing what we see much faster than what we hear. Albert Mehrabian’s “7-38-55” rule suggests that the art of communication is 7% spoken words, 38% tone of voice, and 55% body language. This means that the non-verbal cues displayed at an interview can sway the conversation in any direction. Heed these interview body language dos and don’ts to help you ace your future interviews.
