Smile :) part five: Smiling for Profit

| No Comments
The most consistent advice given by self-help professionals around the world on how to interact with other people in any given situation is to smile.

A great quote by Henry Miller:
When you speak to people -- smile. It is a wonderful thing when you meet someone and they just instinctively smile and say "I am mighty glad to know you." There is power in a smile. It is one of the best relaxation exercises of which I know.

"Mighty glad!" Love that.

Go to any career advising site and look up their interviewing tips and tricks or whatever similar. They'll have it listed right there, just like CareerOne in Australia:
On the way to the interview, walk tall and smile. Strangers will smile back at you and the receptionist at the interview firm will be nice to you. By the time you hit the interview, you'll feel good.

The short of it: It is profitable to smile.
