The debate between Gov. Romney and Pres. Obama Wednesday was a great lesson in body language… no matter who wins the presidential race, it’s obvious that Gov. Romney won this debate…
If you are looking for a job and interviewing you want to pay attention to the things Romney did… he had a pleasant smile on his face when he wasn’t speaking… not a smirk, but a pleasant smile… he actually looked at and had eye contact with Pres. Obama… he spoke with passion and feeling… he communicated a great mastery of facts (… whether they were accurate or not doesn’t matter) by quoting lots of numbers and in many questions he answered by saying “first… second…and third” communicating certainty… he spoke with his hands open and his palms up, which communicates sureness..he had enthusiasm and animation…
On the other side of the stage, Pres. Obama often looked down and didn’t face his opponent… he smirked… he had no animation or enthusiasm… spoke in monotones and droned on as though he was uninterested…
If winning the job was based on today, Gov. Romney would’ve gotten hired.
