💡How do you ace a job interview? Scientists reveal the secret to success with a study on what makes a candidate appear more hireable.
New research suggests that smiling during a job interview can give you the edge over candidates with a sombre or serious demeanour.
According to the authors of the study, a visibly happy applicant exudes confidence and willingness.
"People perform better because you're showing goodwill, showing confidence and it makes you generally more attractive," says study leader Sabrina Chan. "First impressions are very important and research shows people have stronger memories for happy faces."
Even if you're nervous or struggle with emotional expression, a fake smile doesn't necessarily hurt your prospects. Just don't overdo it, says Chan.
