Are you looking for something fun to include when preparing for your next interview? Try these TED talks, mentioned by Lily Zhang in “5 TED Talks to Watch Before Your Next Interview.” You can prepare for an interview in more ways than research about where you are interviewing, and practice questions. I love TED talks because they are short and usually interesting. I have practiced some of these techniques for interview preparation, and even while taking the bar to boost my confidence. In particular the now famous Wonder Woman pose from Amy Cuddy’s talk. I also found the talk, “How to Spot a Liar,” very informative about techniques that could be used during an interview to make sure that the interviewer is telling you the truth about what it is like to work there. Each talk can help you to identify areas that can be changed slightly to achieve a different result from your next interview.
- Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are, by Amy Cuddy
- How to Speak So That People Want to Listen, by Julian Treasure
- Talk Nerdy to Me, by Melissa Marshall
