????什么工作最適合高個(gè)子，什么最不適合？

????高個(gè)子的人賺錢(qián)更多，也更容易聚集在高薪領(lǐng)域。這是因?yàn)榈靡嬗谒麄兊纳眢w語(yǔ)言，他們易于在社交互動(dòng)性強(qiáng)的領(lǐng)域成功，也就是說(shuō)高大的身材會(huì)在這類(lèi)型的工作中發(fā)揮優(yōu)勢(shì)。例如，如果我是一名律師，我就能充分利用我身高的優(yōu)勢(shì)來(lái)把握我的表現(xiàn)，相反假如我是一個(gè)文秘，每天坐在桌子后面，那么我的身高就無(wú)用武之地。當(dāng)然，還有很多高個(gè)子的人涌向其他的領(lǐng)域。例如在警察、消防員和其他一些能發(fā)揮身高優(yōu)勢(shì)的行業(yè)中，個(gè)子高的人占有極大的比例。

????對(duì)高個(gè)子在面試工作時(shí)有什么建議？

????有人建議說(shuō)面試的時(shí)候要迎合對(duì)方的喜好，要盡可能的讓對(duì)方感到舒服。要達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)，你需要調(diào)整自己的肢體語(yǔ)言并且高度注意自己的言行。對(duì)我而言，我不能拖泥帶水，要當(dāng)機(jī)立斷。我的身材很容易讓人把我當(dāng)成一個(gè)笨拙的運(yùn)動(dòng)員，我會(huì)盡可能以清晰連貫的口頭表達(dá)來(lái)消除這種成見(jiàn)，并且一有機(jī)會(huì)我就坐下，因?yàn)槲也粫?huì)從不斷調(diào)整站姿中獲得任何好處。

????是否有時(shí)候身材矮小比身材高大有優(yōu)勢(shì)？

????對(duì)于身材高大的人而言，一個(gè)很大的挑戰(zhàn)是不能隱藏。高個(gè)子的人總在人們注意之中，這其實(shí)是一件麻煩事。矮個(gè)子以及中等身材的人可以根據(jù)自己的需要在人群中偽裝甚至消失在人們視線之外。能夠隱藏是一件很美妙的事，可惜對(duì)于高個(gè)子來(lái)說(shuō)，由于無(wú)法隱藏自我而總是活在壓力之下。

????你是否曾經(jīng)希望自己變矮？

????當(dāng)然！我的第一份工作是咨詢(xún)，那時(shí)我們經(jīng)常圍坐在一個(gè)會(huì)議室里開(kāi)會(huì)。有時(shí)候我都來(lái)不及喝第一杯咖啡就被點(diǎn)名發(fā)表意見(jiàn)。現(xiàn)在，重要的不是希望自己變矮，而是希望我可以避免做出笨拙和特別糟糕的肢體語(yǔ)言。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????What are the best and worst jobs for tall people?

????Tall people make more money and also tend to cluster in higher-paying fields. This is because they tend to thrive in fields in which social interactions take place, since they're helped by their body language. So tall traits are going to shine in these kinds of jobs. For example, if I were a litigator, I would be able to use the full power of my tall body to command presence, whereas if I were a clerk sitting behind a desk, I would gain no benefit from being tall. Granted, plenty of tall people flock to other fields -- for example, there are a disproportionate number of tall people in police work, firefighting work, and physical work where being tall would be of value.

????What advice do you have for tall people in a job interview?

????They say that when you're networking, your goal is to be liked. You want to make someone as comfortable as possible. To do this you need to adjust your body language and be hyper-aware of yourself. In my case, this means no hovering. I go out of my way to kill the dumb jock stereotype by being as verbally coherent as possible, and I always sit down as soon as I possibly can. I gain nothing by standing there flexing my physical might.

????Isn't it sometimes better to be short than tall?

????The big challenge for tall people is that they cannot hide. Tall people are always public, and this can be pretty tough. Short people and those of average height can camouflage and sort of disappear in a crowd when they choose to. It's just a beautiful thing to be able to hide, and really stressful when you're tall and not able to do this.

????Have you ever wished you were shorter?

????Absolutely. In my first job, in consulting, we would sit around in the conference room and I would always be the one called out and asked questions -- especially when I hadn't even had a chance to have my first cup of coffee. Now it's not a matter of wishing I were short, but of wishing that I could make the awkwardness and all of the really god-awful body language just go away!
