In an increasingly competitive world, new skills often arise to stand out or have a good job interview. Given this, specialists highlight that non-verbal language is a key skill that applicants must master in this current era.
In today’s job market, there are many ways to highlight profiles that apply for office above the issues. One of these is communication skills, which are essential to perform in any job.
And in that it is, the non-verbal language, which is all the information that we receive and that we issue to one or more interlocutors, that does not necessarily have to do with what we say.
Therefore, it is important that having adequate knowledge about this subject is a great advantage for recruiters and human resources recruiters, since they observe non-verbal signs and gestures, that is, what is not said, we will be able to understand much about our candidates.
This importance is seen in the data of the American psychologist Albert Mehrabian, who revealed that about 55 percent of our communication has a non-verbal origin (gestures, facial expressions, body posture) another 38 percent is paraverbal (intonation of words , rate of speech, timbre of voice) and the remaining seven percent is purely verbal. Hence, 93 percent of what we communicate is unconscious.
Why nonverbal communication is key
Given this, various specialists highlight this as a key skill at the time of a job interview.
According to Jordi Reche, an expert in communication, he asserts that having knowledge of non-verbal language in a negotiation or in a job interview can have a tremendous impact on the result of it.
Given this, mastering non-verbal language “can help you communicate better, but also connect better with people, and at the same time be able to know if those people are really connected with you, with all that that entails.”
Along these lines, mastering this form of communication can be present in an individual or group interview, either face-to-face or even remotely, by video call or by phone.
“It can help you, for example, to know if someone is receiving what you are talking about well, but also to know their response or real thought to what we communicate to them,” he adds.
Other information signed by Álvaro Tejedor, director of Potenzia and coordinator of Psychoeducation at Affor Health, highlights that the non-verbal language we use can determine how suitable we can “appear in a job interview, how kind we can be in a negotiation”.
“If you are aware of what you want to convey and you are consistent in your verbal and non-verbal communication, you have a better chance of making your message more attractive, since the brain of the person in front of you is built to automatically identify inconsistencies in the way you communicate, it’s a survival mechanism,” he says.
In summary, all the specialists emphasize that beyond words, there is non-verbal language, important not only in our work environment, but in our day to day, since it is the language that does not lie easily and with which we transmit to a greater extent. true feelings or our inner state.
