From this simple example we see that communicating effectively is essential for job interview success. Here are five ways to improve your communication skills.
Focus more energy on how you say it rather than what you say
Experts estimate that words alone are only 7% effective versus nonverbal clues, which are 55% effective in a conversation. The remaining 38% is tone of voice. A better return on investment clearly lies in nonverbal clues and tone of voice. This means you need to take an assessment of your nonverbal clues and tone of voice.
Nonverbal clues are things like body posture, hand gestures, body gestures, facial expression, and eye contact. For instance crossing your arms over your chest shows you have a closed mind. Your tone of voice shows different forms of attitude such as excitement and boredom. Your facial expression the same. Eye contact is always good as it shows a form of trust. Lastly, your appearance characterizes what kind of person you are. Are you clean, organized, or sloppy? All these nonverbal clues send your interviewer messages about you, good or bad. Now ask yourself if you are sending the best message.
Always remember the 3 Big C’s
Effective communication contains 3 key elements. Be sure to focus on these three elements in your next job interview.
Clear – make sure you speak clearly
Concise – avoid being long winded
Complete – be sure to include all pertinent information
Don’t rehearse
One of the greatest sins you can commit during a job interview is rehearsing. Rehearsing is when you wait for the other person to finish what he or she is saying so that you can start talking again.

Extending a conversation is a good thing if it promotes bonding between you and the interviewer. Here are three tips for better listening:
1. Be interested and attentive
2. Listen patiently
3. Listen to nonverbal messages

We’ve all seen, and laughed at, the cheesy cable ads. From the low-quality video production, the ugly flashing headlines, the silly scripts, the ridiculous acting…they’ve been entertaining us for years. And, they've raised the question "What were they thinking?" What is so hard to understand, is that the very advertisers who continue to spend good money to produce and run these brand-damaging ads, had to have s
