Job Interview Jitters? Here's the Secret Weapon You Didn't Know You Had (It's Not What You Say)

Landed an interview but worried about making a good impression? It's not just about what you say but how you say it. Here's the key:

• The 7-38-55 Rule: Only 7% of communication is verbal! The rest is tone of voice (38%) and body language (55%). Don't let nervousness sabotage your interview - use your voice and body language to show enthusiasm.

• Virtual Interview Tips:

  • Make eye contact with the camera (not the person's face on the screen).

  • Sit up straight, avoid slouching, and project confidence.

  • Embrace silence - short pauses are okay, and don't be afraid to ask for a moment to collect your thoughts.

  • Practice speaking clearly and eliminate filler words like "um" and "ah."

  • Minimize distractions - silence your phone and focus on the interview.

Why this matters: As a digital-savvy generation, we are likely to encounter many virtual interviews. Mastering these nonverbal communication skills will give you an edge in the competitive job market.

Flexible Thinking for Success: 5 Unusual Hacks

Feeling stuck in a rut? Our brains can get set in rigid ways of thinking, limiting our creativity and problem-solving skills. Here are 5 unconventional strategies to become a more flexible thinker and unlock your full potential:

• Tap into different perspectives: Seek advice and ideas from people who approach things differently than you. This can open your mind to new possibilities you might have missed.

• Think outside the box: Challenge your natural thinking style. If you're a worrier, try viewing a situation from an optimistic perspective. Roleplay different mindsets to see things from different angles.

• Create personal "rules": If you struggle with impulsive decisions, set up a system to slow you down. Identify situations where risk is high and establish a threshold for taking action.

• Don't take your thoughts too seriously: Those negative voices in your head? They might not be 100% true. Learn to acknowledge them without letting them control you.

• Seek out the "other side": We often fall into confirmation bias, only seeing evidence that confirms our existing beliefs. Actively search for information that contradicts your current thinking.

Why this matters: We can all truly benefit from flexible thinking. These strategies can help you approach challenges creatively, make better decisions, and achieve your goals.

🧠 Today We Learned: In 1944, the CIA created a manual on sabotaging organizations. Among other things, it suggests "making speeches... at great length," referring all matters to committees," making committees as large as possible," and" insisting on perfect work in relatively unimportant products."
