One Body-Position That Will Increase Your Self-Confidence in 2 Minutes
How many of you feels like losing the earth under the feet when thinking about going to a job interview? What if we tell you that some companies, in order to asses public speaking skills of their job applicants, ask them to deliver speeches during the assessment day. How would you feel then? Even more anxious?
Anxiety is probably the worst enemy of all graduating students in this case. However, according to the social psychologist Amy Cuddy, "power posing" - standing in a posture of confidence - can decrease the level of anxiety and positively impact your chances to succeed in a job interview.
By standing in a power pose for 2 minutes every time before going to a job interview, the brain receives more testosterone and cortisol that makes you feel empowered and ready to conquer the world.
