In today's podcast, I discuss how to build rapport during a job interview!

Active Listening: Demonstrate genuine interest in what the interviewer is saying by actively listening to their questions and comments. Maintain eye contact, nod occasionally, and respond thoughtfully to show that you value their input.

Mirror Body Language: Subtly mirror the body language of the interviewer to establish rapport on a subconscious level. This doesn't mean copying their every move, but rather mirroring their posture and gestures to create a sense of harmony and understanding.

Find Common Ground: Look for shared interests, experiences, or values that you can connect with the interviewer on. This could be anything from a similar educational background to a shared passion for a particular industry trend. Bringing up these commonalities can help build rapport and foster a sense of camaraderie.

Ask Thoughtful Questions: Show genuine curiosity about the company, the role, and the interviewer's experiences by asking thoughtful questions. This demonstrates that you're engaged in the conversation and eager to learn more, which can help build rapport and leave a positive impression.

Share Personal Stories (Strategically): When appropriate, share relevant personal anecdotes or experiences that showcase your skills, values, and personality. This can help humanize you in the eyes of the interviewer and create a more meaningful connection. However, be mindful of oversharing or veering off-topic, as this can detract from your professionalism.

When something — or someone — is annoying you at work, you may feel that you need to share your feelings with another person.

We often call this "venting" — letting out negative emotions by talking about what's bothering us. It actually comes from the French word vent, meaning "wind" — because you're letting those feelings out of your body and sending them off into the wind!

It might feel good for a moment. But is it really healthy?

There are advantages to venting, experts say. Keeping stress inside us can increase our risks of getting things like heart problems or high blood pressure.

And sharing our problems with others can also help make us feel connected and supported, which can boost our mental health, according to Rachel Millstein from Harvard Medical School.

However, there are some studies that have found that venting can make things worse.

In fact, Brad Bushman of Ohio State University says it's the "worst thing you can do," and he believes that venting may only make us angrier.

Whether it's right or wrong, experts agree that we have to be careful when we're venting at work.

We most often feel the need to vent when our emotions are at their highest. But Michael Wiederman, writing for the Psychology Today website, says it's better to take some time to calm down before sharing anything with anyone.

Saying too much, or sharing with the wrong person, could get you into trouble and bring you much more stress!

And don't forget to think about the emotions of the person you're venting to — your venting could make them feel stressed too!
