Video Transcript

"Fifty percent, I'm talking fifty percent of what the interviewer thinks about you, fifty percent of his decision is made in the first thirty to sixty seconds. With an additional twenty-five percent of what he thinks about you made in the first fifteen minutes. So the warm up is very important. I'm sure you've heard of "There's nothing like a good first impression". Well that is really, really true in interviewing. You don't get to say a whole lot in the first part of the interview. Which is why body language is so, so very important for you to make a good impression which is what we're trying to do. Come on really strong and professional and impressive. You have to sell yourself through your non-verbal communication, through your behavior and I'm going to show you how to do that next."
