Document from the year 2016 in the subject Guidebooks - Law, Career, Finance, grade: A, course: Capstone, Special Project, language: English, abstract: The process of getting a job has changed because of the economy. More job seekers are older in today’s climate and many younger job seekers lack the experience needed to successfully complete job interviews with call backs or direct hires. The unfortunate predicaments of essential health care and the weakening dollar place the average job seeker at a disadvantage. The playing field is always uneven in the job market, and just having a great deal of education or experience may not be enough. The job interview is where the face-to-face with the gatekeeper happens. It is critical for job candidates to be remembered. Interviewees must take the fact that they are probably not the only ones applying for the job into consideration, though they hope to be the only ones the inter-viewers remember. We all emit positive or negative energy, whether through a handshake or the color of a necktie because the nonverbal communication of the color could introduce a subcon-scious response based on color association the interviewer has experience. The color could trigger a positive or negative response and it does not matter whether we are male or female; we all emit the same frequencies. This manual is not a guarantee that you will get the job but it will give you an edge.
