Humans find diverse creative ways to overcome difficulties such as inequity of resources, opportunities to develop
all their potential to live in a fair and globalized world.
Hand gestures and body movement can communicate happiness, tension and
other types of feelings. Many years ago, I had the
opportunity to be interviewed for a cable television
show. I tend to talk a lot with my hands when I am
nervous and was very self conscious about it. I kept
my hands in my lap through the entire half hour
show. When I viewed the show later, I realized I
came across as stiff and my body language
contradicted in some ways the talk I was trying to
deliver. If one is trying to show interest, be cognizant
of the position of your body in the chair (shoulders
should be square to the other person), lean a bit forward and when standing, stand
erect but not rigid.
Touch and personal space can be useful forms of communication but they can also
be the most misunderstood. When meeting someone, it is customary in our
country to greet the person with a handshake. Both people should extend their
entire hand when shaking but it is surprising how many people (especially women)
use only their fingers; the hand has many sensory endings and it is one of the only
times a person has physical contact with another human being. In addition,
personal space must be carefully watched; different cultures can place greater
emphasis on how much space should be between two people. Insecure people or
people who are trying to avoid confrontation tend to prefer greater space too.
A less realized form of communication is dress. Since many companies no longer
require suits, employees can express their individuality and the message of who
they are through the types of clothes and accessories they wear. Unfortunately,
too many times some employees take this too far and are thus viewed as less
serious about their work. Candidates for job interviews should ask the recruiter
what is the appropriate attire and make sure the clothes fit properly. One
candidate I had wore a skirt that was too tight and kept standing up in the
interview to pull it down!
