Be prepared

Be prepared

The more you prepare and practice, the more confident you’ll feel when your career aspirations are on the line in the job interview.

This confidence will help you eliminate unattractive nervous habits (like saying um, uh, like) and feel more in command of your answer and body language.

Think Positive

Think Positive

The self-help gurus are right: It pays to think positive, at least when it comes to job interviews. 

Nobody wants to hire a candidate with an attitude problem.

At the same time, negativity can prevent you from seeing your key selling points clearly and expressing them well in your interview.

Don't show your desperation

Don't show your desperation

No matter how desperately you want the job, remember that it’s just an opportunity. Your entire future is not dependent on landing this particular job.

From the interviewer’s point of view: Enthusiasm is good, neediness can be a bit awkward. 

No matter what happens, this interview will be a learning experience that will make you a better job candidate and savvier professional in the long run.

  • Power Posing - Pose like a superhero for two minutes before your interview.
  • Visualization - Picture yourself in the interview room making a fantastic impression.
  • Box-Breathing - Effective breathing exercise which can be done in seconds no matter where you are and does wonders for calming anxiety.
