Maybe you need to accept that your particular brain just IS jumbled....
How to Bounce Back From Job Interview Rejection
- Do a practice run. Have someone else do a mock interview on you with the intention of throwing some of the toughest and off the wall questions at you to prepare you for anything. Maybe do 2 or 3 runs with different questions each time. If you have a range of ideas of how to answer the oddest or toughest questions then you'll be more prepared and less of a jumble.
- by getting a good nite's sleep the nite before and being nourished with healthy food. minimize the caffeine and sugar before the interview and brush your teeth no more than an hour before. lay out your clothes the night before, be sure everything is pressed and clean.
do your homework about the company and write down a few talking points. review your resume closely to remind yourself about your best quals and how to discuss.
when you have done all these things, you can have a feeling of confidence that will translate into your demeanor.
also carry a handkerchief, if you have a tendency to sweat and dab your face before the interview... - Lots of rest the night before, eat a good breakfast, don't bring a watch with you.
BTW, be honest and real. They can smell a fraud a mile away.
Also, if you're a woman: If you're uncomfortable in a heavy blouse and jacket, go with a dressy-casual top instead. I've won more jobs being qualified, comfortable and personable -- just someone they can envision would get along well with co-workers and a pleasure to be around -- than anything else. And being comfortable instead of in tight, ill-fitting blazers have made things much easier. For me, at least. - I read some good ideas(except have a few drinks first) alcohol on your breath is not a good thing at a job interview. You might also look up some typical interview questions that are often used such as "tell me about a time you had a conflict with a co-worker and what did you do"? "Where do you see yourself in 10 years"? Plan ahead how you might answer such questions.
- You can't. What most people don't know is that employers use a brain-scrambling device to throw you off your game, while secretly videotaping you and later laughing about all of your ridiculous answers with their colleagues.
- If you can't, I won't hire you. Deal with it. An interview is likely to be the easiest task I ever assign you. Seriously.
- Have a couple of drinks before your interview
