Observing the candidate
As a new manager, you are likely to be more nervous than an experienced one. In the interview, you have to manage the process, keep to time, and so on. You need to deliver information in mini speeches. To observe the candidate, you need to learn about the following things:
Misleading first impressions
How eye movements indicate thinking style
How body positions and movements can be read
You must be well versed in these tasks to leave you the thinking time to observe the candidate.
