Interview Tip of the Month: Appear Confident in Your Interview (Even If You're Not!)
|
Palms sweaty? Heartbeat racing? You must be in a job interview! Use these tips to project confidence and poise, even when you're freaking out a bit:
Think positively: You deserve to be there! Before your interview, visualize a great outcome. Dress the part: Or dress one notch above what's required. Mentally reframe your nervousness: Instead, think of it as excitement or eagerness (both of which are positive – and can, therefore, reduce your anxiety). Make eye contact: Keep it natural and steady, taking periodic breaks to avoid intense/prolonged eye contact. Limit fidgeting: If you tend to bounce your leg or twirl your hair when you're nervous, gently clasp your hands in your lap and use them to apply a bit of pressure to your knees. Use breathing techniques: Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth to slow your heartrate and keep your composure. Check your posture: Shoulders back, chest and chin up, hands resting comfortably. |
