• Example 1 –• Barack Obama.
• Barak Obama certainly is known for his striking IMAGE. • Notice the intensity on his face. The cheek bones. The strength of his
jaw. The back of a soldier. • This is a POWERFUL IMAGE• from: http://www.kevinhogan.com/bodylanguage1.htm

84
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
85
Example 2 –
Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama's face shows intensity. Notice the line or wrinkle on her forehead. She is somewhat relaxed, as her shoulders droop a bit. Her hand to the heart as she speaks shows truthfulness, or at least sincerity in what she's
saying.

• How to Disagree Politely
• http://www.ehow.com/how_4703021_disagree-politely.html
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
100
Step (1)
• Approach any discussion with a cool head. A person who is in control of his thoughts and emotions are less likely to be involved in a fight. The point of any conversation is expressing thoughts and feelings and you want to be an active and responsible participant in it whether you agree with what the speaker is saying or not.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
101
Step (2)
• Give the other person the chance to speak up his mind. Listening to what he has to say and hearing him good will let you focus on the conversation. Even if you disagree in the end, you show the other
person respect by being attentive when he was speaking
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
102
Step (3)
• Speak up your mind as well. When it is your turn to speak, take the time to express your thoughts about the subject discussed. Be objective and stress out your points why you disagree with the other person. Choose your words carefully.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
103
Step (4)
• Don’t let emotions take control over both sides. Make your discussion as smooth as possible without bad words and name calling. Be courteous and considerate in your manner and encourage the other person to do the same.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
104
Step (5)
• Ask to change the subject if the discussion leads to nowhere. There is no use discussing something which makes you both upset. Politely request the other person to find other topics of interest to talk about or if you need to take a break, do so.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
105
Step (6)
• Let the other person know your views and sentiments about the entire conversation without criticizing or blaming. Be polite and kind in your speech. Shake hands to show no hard feelings. Most important of all, let the other person understand that the relationship is intact and both of you can still discuss other interesting things even if you have different opinions.

How to make your interview memorable
• Things you must do• Do not arrive late • Don't dress like a tramp • Research! • Don't smoke, chew or blow gum bubbles during an interview • Do not interrupt the interviewer or talk over the top of them • If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all • When the person asks what your weaknesses are, use only the
ones that can be turned around into a lesson learned or a positive. • Fit your interview banter to the job and the company you're applying
for
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
113
How to be impressive on the phone
• Whether you're doing a phone interview, a conference call or cold-calling a company you'd love to work for, a good telephone manner is essential. Try the following:
• Smile - you can hear it in your voice • Keep a pen, paper and calculator to hand in case you
need them • Don't smoke, chew or slurp - those sounds travel • If you stand up your voice sounds stronger and more
authoritative • Pace the call, don't rush and let the other person speak • Avoid 'er', 'um', 'huh', and the rest they'll make you sound
dumb

Types of Interviews • The Screening Interview • The Informational Interview • The Directive Style • The Meandering Style • The Stress Interview• The Behavioral Interview • The Audition • The Group Interview • The Tag-Team Interview • The Mealtime Interview • The Follow-up Interview
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
115
First: The Screening Interview
• Aim:
The interviewer doesn’t want to know whether you are the best fit for the position, only whether you are not a match!
• Tips• Highlight your accomplishments and
qualifications. • Have note cards with your vital information
sitting next to the phone (in phone interviewing)
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
116
Second: The Informational Interview
• The focus is on information at this stage not on the job. • During an informational interview, the jobseeker and
employer exchange information and get to know one another better without reference to a specific job opening.
• Tips: • Come prepared with thoughtful questions about the field
and the company. • Give the interviewer your card (if you have one!), contact
information and CV. • Write a thank you note to the interviewer.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
117
Third: The Directive Style
• Here, the interviewer has a clear agenda that he or she follows.
(Asking the same questions to compare results)
Tips • Follow the agenda of the interviewer. • But, don’t relinquish control of the interview.
Politely interject information which you think important and which prove your superiority as a candidate.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
118
Fourth: The Meandering Style
• Here, the interviewer will rely on you to lead the discussion.
• This style uses broad/ open-ended questions (e.g. Tell me about yourself)
• Tips • Be prepared with highlights of your skills • Remain Alert to the interviewer• Remain respectful to the interviewer.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
119
Fifth: The Stress Interview• Legitimate or illegitimate?! • You might be held in the waiting room for an hour before the
interviewer greets you. • You might face long silences or cold stares. • The interviewer might openly challenge your believes or judgment. • (Aim: to determine whether you will be able to withstand the
company’s culture or not) • Tips• * Remember it is only a game. It is not personal. • Prepare and memorize your main message before walking through
the door. • Even if the interviewer is rude remain calm and tactful. • Go into the interview relaxed and rested.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
120
Sixth: The Behavioral Interview
• This style relies on your previous behavior to indicate your future performance.
• (Describe a time that you required problem-solving skills, adaptability, leadership, conflict resolution, …etc.)
• You need not only reflection, but also organization. • Tips • Review your CV• Reflect on your own professional, volunteer, educational
and personal experience to develop brief stories. • Prepare stories by identifying the context.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
121
Seventh: The Audition • For some positions, companies want to see you in action. They
might take you through a brief exercise in order to evaluate your skills.
• It might be helpful to you as it allows you to demonstrate your ability.
• If you felt that other candidates have an edge on you in terms of experience and other qualifications, then you can request an audition interview.
• Tips• Understand the instructions and expectations for the exercise. Try to
minimize confusion. • Treat the situation as if you are a professional. Take ownership of
your work. • Brush up on your skills before an interview if you think they might be
tested.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
122
Eighth: The Group Interview
• This kind of interviews help showing your leadership potential and style.
• It helps the company to get a glimpse of how you interact with peers.
• Tips• Observe and try to discern the rules of the game. • Treat others with respect while exerting influence over
others. • Avoid overt power conflicts. • Keep an eye on the interviewer throughout the process
so that you do not miss important cues.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
123
Ninth: The Tag-Team Interview• Not only does the company want to know whether your skills
balance that of the company, but also whether you can get along with the other workers.
• In some companies, multiple people will interview you simultaneously.
• Tips • Treat each person as an important individual. • Use the opportunity to gain as much information about the company
as you can. • Be ready to illustrate your main message in a variety of ways to a
variety of people. • Prepare psychologically to expend more energy and be alert. • Stay focused and adjustable.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
124
Mealtime Interview• Interviewing over a meal is difficult for some people and it often
sounds as a professional catastrophe. • It is a challenge which you could overcome with some preparation
and psychological readjustment.
• Tips: • Take cues from your interviewer, remembering that you are the
guest. Do not sit down until your host does. Order something slightly less extravagant than your interviewer. If he recommends an appetizer to you, he likely intends to order one himself. Do not begin eating until he does. If he orders coffee and dessert, do not leave him eating alone.
• If your interviewer wants to talk business, do so. • Try to set aside dietary restrictions and preferences. Remember, the
interviewer is your host. It is rude to be finicky unless you absolutely must. If you must, be as tactful as you can. Avoid phrases like: "I do not eat mammals," or "Shrimp makes my eyes swell and water."
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
125
Mealtime Interview
• Choose manageable food items, if possible. Avoid barbeque ribs and spaghetti.
• Find a discrete way to check your teeth after eating. Excuse yourself from the table for a moment.
• Practice eating and discussing something important simultaneously. • Thank your interviewer for the meal.
April 19, 2023 Mona Jebril University of Palestine
126
Tenth: Follow-up interviews
• Companies might bring candidates fro a second and sometimes third or fourth interviews for a number of reasons.
• Tips• Be confident. Make clear what you have to offer and your interest in
the position. • Tactfully discover more information about the internal company
dynamics and culture. • Walk through the front door with a plan for negotiating salary. • Be prepared for anything.

• Use a good presentation-building. • Humor is very useful. • The more you rehearse the talk, the better it will be. • Not everything has to be written down. • Be enthusiastic. • Act your talk.• Give people time to think about the important facts by
slowing down, or even stopping for a moment. • Do not go overtime under any circumstance.

? • Listen to the questions very carefully.

Text
• Slides should have short titles. • Use uniform capitalization rules. • All the text on one slide should have the same structure
(e.g. complete phrases, idea only, etc.). • Put very little text on a slide. Put no more than one idea
per slide (i.e. all bullets should refer to the same thing). • Don't use small fonts. (Hello!)
• Use very few formulas (one per presentation). • Spell-check. A spelling mistake is an attention magnet.

Illustrations
• Do not put in the figures details you will not mention explicitly.
• Do not "waste" information by using unnecessary colors. Each different color should signify something different, and something important.
• A few real photos related to your subject look very cool. For some strange reason, rectangles with shadows seem to look much better than without (especially if there are just a few in the figure).
• Use strong colors for important stuff, pastel colors for the unimportant.

The top ten tips for Presenting with more Impact
• Presenting with Impact is a skill that we can all learn and a skill that pays off many times over because it enables us to have influence through our presentations be they formal or informal. Here are ten tips that, when you embrace them, will enable you to Present with more Impact.
1. . Headline what you are going to say. Make the title thought provoking, intriguing, and exciting; so before you start speaking your audience is eagerly anticipating what you are going to say. Focus your presentation around the title theme.
2. Manage your State. Before you present makes sure you are in your ‘presentation zone’. Remember the times when you presented brilliantly, the times you controlled your audience, the times you influenced decisions, the times the participants learned effortlessly etc. and recall those feelings before you start to present.

The top ten tips for Presenting with more Impact
• 3. Own The message. Always totally own the message of the presentation, make it yours and make it in your own words. You have to be totally comfortable with the content you are presenting to present it with Impact. Make sure you practice, practice, practice.
• 4. Build Rapport. From The moment you first meet your audience build up rapport with them by making eye contact, mirroring body language and if possible discussing their ideas for the presentation before you start formally. Ensure your presentation answers the question “what is in it for me” for each person in the audience.
5. Engage all The Senses. Some people prefer presentations to be primarily visual, some primarily auditory and others primarily through feeling so appeal to all sections of your audience through your use of language, and by structuring the presentation to include visual aids, question and answer sessions and by involvement.
6. Engage all learning styles. Each of your audience will have a preferred learning style so structure your presentation to cater for each by answering the questions; ‘Why would I want to know this?’ (for The Reflector ), ‘What is this all about?’ (Activist ), ‘How will it work for me?’ (Pragmatist) and ‘What if I do use it?’ (Theorist).

•7. Big Picture and Detail. Paint the big picture for those in your audience who need the big picture – tell them what you are going to tell them. (Leave an agenda in view to refer to through the presentation so your audience can see how the presentation is fitting together.) Go through the detail for those that need detail – tell Them, and round off with a great conclusion for everyone – tell them what you told Them.
8. Use Influential Language patterns. Studies have shown that great presenters use a variety of influential patterns such as – putting tags at the end of sentences eg “this works doesn’t it?”, mind reading eg “I’m sure as you are listening to this you are as intrigued as I am in influential language”, and there are many more patterns that you can learn.
9. Story telling. We learn best through stories so weave stories into your presentation.
10. Ask for the order. Always leave your audience clear as to what they should do with the information you have given them and the next steps following the presentation.
Don’t do this!
