Have you ever heard of positive presence? The term connects very closely with the world of the job market, and more specifically, with the dynamics of job interviews in selection processes. Maybe you're still confused about the expression and its meaning, but don't worry, we'll explain everything in today's article.
To understand what these two words together mean, think of each of them separately. Presence is the simple fact of existing and being in some place or situation, and the word is also used to show that someone stands out in certain scenarios. When a person has a presence, they can draw attention and leave a beneficial mark through their attitude. In turn, the word positive expresses everything that is good, conveying optimism, benefits, and the opposite of negative When we unite these two parts, we have as a result an expression about people who manage to convey feelings and good things wherever they go. But what ds this have to do with job interviews?
Instead of thinking about an attitude that brings good feelings, think about the opposite of that possibility. A negative presence is one that lets out the problems and negativity of a moment, but you don't want that to happen in a job interview. Let's assume that you are going through difficult situations at work. Perhaps you are unmotivated, tired, and dissatisfied with your job, desperate to find another opportunity. All of these reasons are valid and justify your willingness to change, however, you need to be careful that this atmosphere ds not pass your thoughts and reach the interviewer. When you are very involved with negative situations, it is easy to let it contaminate everything around you. His posture changes, the tone of speech becomes more sober and impatient, his answers begin to carry dissatisfaction and frustration. You might not notice it because you're immersed in this scenario, but HR professionals will certainly notice the negativity. As you can imagine, this is dangerous. It may be that the recruiter dsn't like your attitude or can't understand that it comes precisely from the problems in the current job. Or maybe he doesn't realize all of this consciously, but he will have a feeling, a feeling that you are not the ideal candidate. Do you see how this generates a repetitive cycle, in which you lose career opportunities precisely because of dissatisfaction with your current job? Therefore, the ideal is to cultivate a more positive presence, which shows enthusiasm and passion for professional life. However, it is not easy to change your attitude and posture when you are inserted in a heavy, unfavorable context that drains your energy. This process can be complicated and not at all intuitive, so to help you, we've selected some tips to facilitate this change. Check it out below.
A great way to start this process is by asking yourself a few questions. We separate 4 of them, which you can discover now. “ How are you feeling? First of all, look inside and try to untie the knot of your feelings in general, not just about work. Evaluate how you feel, your emotions, the origin of each of these sensations and how your body manifests them all. As much as some people manage to do this internal diving independently, we recommend seeking a qualified professional, that is, a psychologist, to work on this self-knowledge. Thus, you will have qualified support to go through this journey, which can be quite intense. “ What do you want people to feel when they interact with you? From the moment you understand your feelings and how to deal with them, it becomes easier to look at the other person. Now it's time to think about how you want people to feel. In an interview, you want the interviewer to feel good, relaxed, calm, focused, and inspired. For this, you also need to feel that way, after all, anyone's reaction to a closed, negative and nervous posture cannot be positive, right? So, as complicated as life is outside the interview door, work on your feelings to assume a more positive attitude as soon as you walk into the room. “ How do you consider recruiters and interviewers? It can be easy to get lost in your feelings and forget about the whole situation halfway through. A great way to remind yourself at all times of the importance of positivism is to ask yourself how you consider the people in front of you. Remembering the positive points and what they mean to you is essential to put dissatisfaction aside and making a constructive impact on your interview. If it gets difficult, focus on respect. It is universal, and whenever you treat people with respect, you can be sure they will have a positive image of you. “ What do people need from me right now? Finally, always keep in mind what people need from you in every moment of life. In the selection process, recruiters need you to show why you are the best candidate.
