20. Keep Your Voice Down – Your Body’s Shouting Its Head Off<br />

Professionals never shout, they don’t even raise their voices, but they<br />

are always aware of what their body language is saying. Keep<br />

your body language powerful, professional and positive and<br />

your voice calm, consistent and considered – it makes a big<br />

difference.<br />

Throughout I Got Hired you will come across references to the<br />

fact that Job Hunting is a competitive sport, and there is no greater<br />

set of ‘competitive advantage’ skills than these professional Habits.<br />

The tougher the jobs market is, the more hiring managers and<br />

HR departments lean towards what they see as the ‘safe hire’. A<br />

recession is not the time to be taking risks and companies tend to<br />

just play it safe. The more professional you are, the safer a bet you are<br />

perceived to be as a potential hire.<br />

Professional candidates get hired first – that’s just how it works.<br />
