Employers looking for people who are confident and outgoing

Sales recruitment professionals are on the lookout for people who are confident and outgoing, according to an expert.

James Borg, writing for the Daily Telegraph, said that nothing says "do not employ me" more than a candidate who comes across as timid and shy of making their point.

He advised that if a sales recruitment hopeful is scared of their prospective employer in the interview, then it will be much harder to convince them that a productive working relationship can be formed.

"How you sit can be very important. Well-cushioned seats can give you a slumped posture, restricted speech and an air of submissiveness. If your seat is having this effect on your body language, compensate by sitting forward and, if necessary, leaning forward," he added.

Nick Corcodilos, writing for the Seattle Times blog, said that if the job description is vague for a sales job then people should use the interview to show how they can add value to the organisation.
