How To Seduce The Interviewer And Get hired For The Job

The author of this interesting article quickly points out that you need to get your head out of the gutter. “No, I am not talking about sex here. I am referring to the magical connection that will make the interviewer like you quickly without him/her knowing what them.” Still clueless on what he is talking about? “You need to master this art well if you want to be highly successful at your interview session,” reads the article which adds that, “It is a well- known fact that when we communicate, our brain will pick up verbal language around 25% or less, while the nonverbal is in the range of 60 to 90%.” Have a look at these three tips that are extremely powerful to make the interviewer be mesmerized by you. Tip #1: The Handshake. This is the only time that you make body contact with the interviewer. Therefore, learn this well. When shaking hands, the most important point is that your hand and the interviewer’s hand must meet in a vertical manner. That means your palm is perpendicular to the floor. If the interviewer’s palm is skewed to facing the floor, gently turn his or her hand to become perpendicular. The action that the hand signal is sending is that if one’s palm is more inclined to face the floor, then that person is dominating. If one’s palm is more skewed to facing the ceiling, the signal that is sent out is that you are submissive. In an interview, we want the playing field to be neutral so that both parties are open-minded. You have to practise this so that it appears natural. Get a friend and ask him or her to shake hands with you. He will intentionally face the palm down and up. You have to straighten the hand without looking at the handshake. Tip #2: Using hand gestures to project openness and likable. Imagine you visit a friend and when he opens the door, he greets you. Scenario A… He points his forefinger at you and say, “Hi Joe, long time no see.” Scenario B… ” Hi Joe, long time no see.” But this time his arms are extended and his palms are facing slightly towards the sky, as if he wants to hug. You decide… same words to greet you, but different body language. Similarly, when talking to the interviewer, use hand gestures sparingly and make sure that the palms are facing upwards. Tip #3: Exude confidence There is a hand action that will make you feel confident automatically. Here’s how you do it. Open up your fingers Bring the two hands together to touch the tips of the fingers of both hands. Disengage about an inch apart and touch again. Do this for a few times. Soon, the interviewer will feel drawn to your positive energy and he has no clue on what triggered the emotion. Good luck.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
