Question

Identify and apply nonverbal communication techniques at the workplace.

As a manager of your department in a cosmopolitan city, you are in the process of interviewing several candidates for an important public relations post. In this context, respond to the following:

What nonverbal cues will you look for in the candidate that you think will be vital to the job role?

What are the possible signs that will alert you to the fact that this person may be insincere and not right for the job?

Do you think the candidate's gender, ethnicity, and background could have an impact on how he or she communicates nonverbally?

A clear analysis of nonverbal communication techniques is supported by theory and examples.
