This interactive session focuses on the subconscious signals we send during job interviews, emphasizing the importance of body language, facial expressions, and introductions. Participants will engage in discussions about effective ways to present themselves when entering and leaving a room, the significance of posture, and the right emotions to convey during interviews. Activities include creating a checklist of good posture, practicing facial expressions, and exploring the impact of colloquialisms in professional settings. By the end, attendees will compile “Do” and “Don’t” checklists to enhance their interview performance.
