Interview with Impact

The problem is, most people feel stressed during an interview and while this is perfectly normal, it doesn’t help you when trying to perform at your best. At worst, the physiological effects of stress can hijack your brain and body, leaving you with little energy for cognitive focus.
What’s more, research shows that it takes seconds to form a first impression, and that impression is lasting. Subconscious and conscious perceptions about you are created based on your nonverbal behaviour your body language and your vocal power (the way you deliver your words). Many researchers have concluded the same results–the initial perception created in those first few seconds determines evaluation–the success, or failure, of your interview.
