Let me help you.<\/p>\n<p>An employer&#8217;s first priority of course is to check an applicant&#8217;s experience, which is clearly mentioned on his CV. But beyond that what makes an applicant a better candidate than his co-applicants who have the same qualifications?<\/p>\n<p>An employer that uses graphology as a screening tool chooses candidates who are not only suitable for the job, but also for the company culture and, more importantly, the team.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is what traits most employers want in their employees and how the traits are identified from handwriting:<\/p>\n<h3>Applicant signature &amp; handwriting<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Can the applicant communicate effectively?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to handwriting analysis, an individual&#8217;s ability to communicate well is shown in some middle-zone letters such as a &amp; o. Broadly speaking, the clearer the letters, the better the communication. (<a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-analysis-traits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Communication letter in handwriting<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Can the applicant be given responsibility?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A person&#8217;s willingness to accept responsibility is identified in huge initial loop in S, M &amp; N.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Is the applicant honest and loyal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honesty is shown by clean and untouched oval letters, such as a, o and d. Presence of loops in ovals indicates the writer&#8217;s tendency to manipulate facts. (Refer to point 1 for more)<\/p>\n<p>Loyalty is seen in the placement of<a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/learn-why-your-teacher-told-you-to-always-cross-your-ts-and-dot-your-is-carefully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> i-dots<\/a> and their shapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Is the applicant enthusiastic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In handwriting, enthusiasm of the writer surfaces in long, sweeping t-bars. If this stroke is found along with an ascending baseline, the writer&#8217;s enthusiasm is inexhaustible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/hire-me.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/hire-me.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"821\" height=\"462\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Does the applicant have good energy and determination?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The energy of a writer is seen in the pressure with which he writes. Most people assume that the higher the writing pressure, the greater the energy. That&#8217;s not true. (Know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">handwriting pressure<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>In handwriting analysis, a writer&#8217;s determination is shown by firm downstrokes on lower-zone letters such as g, j and y.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Is the applicant organised and can he prioritise work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Graphology says a writer&#8217;s ability to be organised is shown by the balance in the size of upper and lower loops in letter f.<\/p>\n<p>An individual&#8217;s ability to prioritise work is shown in the way he manages the <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-analysis-line-spacing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">line-spacing in his handwriting<\/a>. Handwriting analysts often look at the spacing between lines to determine how well the writer can prioritise his work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Can the applicant focus on his work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is very important. Most employers want it in their employees. A writer&#8217;s ability to focus is seen in the size of his handwriting. The smaller the size, the greater the focus.

Can he \u00a0keep personal problems out of the workplace?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To know this factor, a graphologist sees the writer&#8217;s emotional responsiveness, which is shown by the slant of his handwriting. Often, someone with a pronounced <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/right-slant-in-graphology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">right slant<\/a> is unable to keep his emotions in check, which starts interfering with his or her life at workplace.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 873px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/job-interview1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/writechoice.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/job-interview1.jpg\" alt=\"Applicant signature and handwriting\" width=\"863\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Applicant signature and handwriting<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>9. Will the applicant be co-operative with fellow workers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An individual&#8217;s ability to co-operate is shown by two things: first, how close he feels with the life around him, and secondly, how dominating or yielding he is. How much a writer feels connected with the world around him is shown by <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-word-spacing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">word spacing<\/a>, while his dominating nature is shown by the his <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-of-bully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">downhill t-bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Does the applicant have the potential to be a leader?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To determine this potential, many personality traits, such as pride, ambition and persistence come into play. Pride is shown by long t and stems, whereas ambition is shown by the way the writer places his t-bar. The <a href=\"https:\/\/writechoice.co.in\/writechoice\/handwriting-t-bars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">higher the t-bar<\/a>, the higher the self-esteem and ambition. But if the t-bar is above the stem, the writer becomes an air head.<\/p>\n<div class=\"6587ada91bcda6cf6e3707e649b65b83\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px;\">\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script async defer src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyWriteChoice\/\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-action=\"like\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-share=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Companies use handwriting analysis to screen  candidates.
