NOW IT'S TIME TO SPEAK
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY
You don't have to use large
words to do it. Simply take a
deep breath, and relax your tone.
Yes the tone, the way your voice
sounds, makes all the difference.
Voice
The moment a person speaks he / she can be judged
Must sound sincere and confident
Pronunciation is important
Tone of voice
Loudness
Avoid using slangs
Shaky voice - Communicates
nervousness, unsure, non-confident.
- Rushed voice - Communicates
inability to listen, or slow down.
- Quiet voice - Communicates
timidness; similar to shaky.
You don't want to sound passive, yet
you don't want to sound arrogant. Try
to establish a tone somewhere in the
middle.
Ask questions based on the
position, and the description they gave
you. This communicates strong
interest in the job and company. Do
ask questions that only benefit you.
