leave-a-replyThe page “Learn more about the persuasion methods!” gives you effective tools to be more confident… I recommend to use these methods for the interview.

1. How to convince:

  • If your audience is likely to disagree, speak faster
  • If your audience is likely to agree, speak slower
  • Stop saying, ‘I think’ or ‘I believe’
  • If you believe something will work, say ‘it will work’
  • let your enthusiasm show
  • Gain agreement
  • Occasionally swear
  • Draw positive conclusions
  • Replace one paragraph about your greatness with admiration for someone or something else (the company you are applying to)
  • Say what you are passionate about, what motivates you, what makes you unique
  • Say what you can bring to the employer
  • Mention if you have a very specific skill set
