In any new job, the first few weeks are invariably crucial. It can be an exciting, if nerve-racking, time, as incomer and employer get used to each other. After all, those early days will be when both sides gain an impression of one another that will affect the success of the working relationship – and even how long it will last.
It can be surprisingly hard for people to recognise the signs that they’re so unhappy at work they need to leave. However, sometimes this really is the only viable option – either because staying will damage your health in some way, or won’t allow your career to progress in the way it needs to.
Body language matters, and nowhere does it matter more than in a job interview, where a shocking 33% of surveyed hiring managers admit they’ve made up their mind if they’re going to hire you within 90 seconds.
That’s hardly enough time to shake hands and take a seat, let alone discuss your suitability for the role.
