Why Internship Is a Huge Step Forward
While the first step into the job market can be a steep learning curve, experiences gained through mini real-world job stints can help you gear up for student-to-working-life transition.
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.
