Job Interview Basics: Reduce Stress Build Confidence!

Recommended Answer:
Preparation. Think about the kinds of questions you might get asked, come up with an answer (write it down if you want,) and run that answer past a few people that are willing to help you out. (Preferably people with experience interviewing and hiring others.)

Here are a couple of sample questions that get asked frequently in interviews.
1. Tell me a little about yourself. (It's not small talk. It's an interview question.)
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
3. What are your greatest strengths? What is a weakness?
4. Tell me about a time you failed.
5. Why should I hire you for this job?

If you can answer those questions with SPECIFIC examples that show you are self-aware, smart, and articulate, then any other question they throw at you will be easily handled.

Best of luck!

Critical Mistakes To Avoid at Job Interview

• Maybe you have a friend or family member pretend to be the interviewer and ask you questions to practice, the more practice you get, the more calm and confident you will be when you go to your job interview. When you get to the job interview make sure take deep breaths, and think before what you're going to say when the interviewer you a question. Good luck.


• Well, you don't, you just fake it 'til you make it!
  
  Try controlled breathing first. When nervous, we breathe faster. If you purposely breathe as you do normally, you will actually trick your body into feeling less anxious. Smiling will also trick you into being happier during the interview.


• To be confident you must prepare. Know proper responses to the standard questions (practice). Know what is on your resume. Know important facts about the company that you are interviewing with. Dress nicely and comfortably. Have an extra copy of your resume and references if requested. Being prepared helps you feel better. Good luck.


• just take deep breaths and keep saying to yourself that you can do this and also remember that the people who are interviewing you are human just the same as you and talk to people who have already done lots of interviews and ask them how they done it if all else fails just contact the people who will be interviewing you and tell them about your problem hopefully they will be able to help . when you get there if u feel shy or nervous then just pretend that everyone is in their underwear this will then hopefully get you to realize that these people are the same as you or you could try to pick out flaws from the interviewers so that you understand that they are not perfect that have bad things about them ok i hope this helps :)


• Dress well and be confident in your self. Take a big breath of air through your nostrils and calm your self to the point of being good at answering the questions that are put to you to answer.I assure you that you will have the job.


• come on time or earlier than what is the scheduled time of the interview.
  
  dress up properly and comfortably.
  
  prepare a possible answers to possible questions of the interviewer.
  
  organize your thoughts.


• Make many interviews, try always to think about what you will say in each of one. With time you learn. But it will always happen that you get nervous. If you are not doing them for a while you get nervous again. Is like jumping to the water from heights haha
