Nonverbal Mistakes Made in a Job Interview

Nonverbal Mistakes Made in a Job Interview Check out the craziness from the infographic below (I dont remember where it came from, and theres not source info on the infographic). So, craziness includes: 21% play with their hair?  Too distracting for some bosses. 47% dont know about the company?  tsk tsk!  Do your research, people! 67% dont make eye contact?  Practice this show confidence! 38% dont smile?  Look, if you dont seem happy to be hear, I might worry about putting you in front of a customer, or depressing your coworkers. 26% have a weak handshake? This is a personal pet peeve practice shaking hands with a salesperson, or someone who does business with others. 65% of bosses said clothing would be the deciding factor between two similar candidates?  Might seem shallow, but how you dress is a statement about you, your EQ, etc. I dont mean to add more stress to your job search, but please be aware of the messages you are sending before you even open your mouth.
