The Eastern art of Feng Shui comes alive when utilized to enhance your Western life. Use the concepts of yin and yang, cardinal directions, color, and an overall balance of energy to help you snag that job. Even before you get an office to decorate, it is useful to incorporate these ideas to give you an advantage in your next interview.
While in a interview, you are in the interviewer’s comfort zone. This is their workplace and they know what works for them within the space. Do not worry. You can manipulate what you have to work with in the room, just always be observant of the following:
Positioning Yourself
Interviews are nerve wracking for nearly everybody. Give yourself an advantage and a boost of confidence by watching the way you are positioned. First, find your Magic Number on the chart below, based on a combination of your birth year and gender. Those with the Magic Numbers 1, 3, 4, and 9 are best when facing the east, southeast, south, or north; Magic Numbers 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are at their strong point sitting towards the west, southwest, northwest, or northeast. You will feel empowered by being aware of the cardinal direction when in the building (an easy way is to check by the sun’s location) and positioning yourself to face towards a beneficial direction.
From The Practical Enyclopedia of Feng Shui, Gill Hale
Additionally, sit up straight and resist the urge to lean on anything. You want to give the impression of a strong, confident candidate that’s perfect for the job. This will not be what they see if you’re slacking. Image is even more important for women than men, as most people are to socialized to pay more attention to such features in ladies.
Home life is also very connected to how you perform in other areas. Try to position the head of your bead towards beneficial directions. Always keep your house free of clutter. Maintain the peace of the house and the family so you’re not rushed or harried when you show up for your interview.
For more advice on preparing for your interview, the best advantage around is always the 360. Try out the 360 live one on one interview coaching. Good luck in your search for right position.
