How can you overcome interview anxiety?

Another good way to handle your triggers is to remember to be yourself. Treat the interview like it is just another business conversation. Keep it professional but stay authentic.

O reconhecimento das nossas emo??es e comportamentos é o primeiro passo para a mudan?a de pensamento. Como costumo dizer aos meus clientes, a ansiedade em mim causa uma rea??o e em você outra. A partir desse reconhecimento fica mais assertivo trabalhar a causa raiz, buscar estratégias de manejo e ent?o agregar com as técnicas comportamentais como a respira??o diafragmatica

Before an interview or any big event I go into the bathroom and look straight ahead at the mirror in front of me and say exactly what I know to be true. I’m prepared, I got this, I will be true to me and what is meant to be will be. Whatever happens in the room will be a learning moment.

Tudo o que é novo gera certa ansiedade e stress. O momento da entrevista é um deles, onde precisamos nos expor para pessoas desconhecidas e responder perguntas estranhas. Quando você faz uma simula??o de entrevista, você prepara o cérebro para lidar com aquela situa??o de forma mais natural, pois já n?o será algo totalmente “desconhecido”. Outro excelente motivo para investir em uma prepara??o é ter feedbacks para te ajudar a perceber os erros e ent?o corrigi-los a tempo de uma oportunidade

I always prepare for a big opportunity (speaking, sales, etc) by role playing. I’ll ask a peer or a coach or even a friend to ask me questions and try to stump me. It’s ok to mess up, it’s actually a great way to build resilience and hone answers. I also practice in front of a mirror and record videos.

A great breathing exercise for high stress and anxiety moments is just to take some deep breaths. Deep breathing helps to relieve shortness of breath and helps you to feel more relaxed and centered. To do this: While standing or sitting, draw your elbows back allow your chest to expand. Take a deep inhalation through your nose. Retain your breath for a count of 5. Slowly release your breath by exhaling through your nose.

Esses é um dos pontos que faz com que a maioria das pessoas se percam na hora da entrevista, pois ficam preocupadas com as possíveis perguntas e supostas respostas que n?o escutam de fato qual a competência o recrutador está querendo avaliar e ent?o responde algo totalmente contrário, s?o pontuais demais ou prolixas.

Anxiety can be easily overcome. It’s only temporary and it’s only because the resources which will remove the anxiety have been temporarily switched off. A small amount of anxiety when faced with something new is normal, we can work with our anxiety, that’s why it disappears when we become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I’ve worked with many sufferers of anxiety and now they have their own personal answers, the anxiety is gone!

Prepare Prepare Prepare!!! Good preparation can never be overemphasized. Have you gone to an interview super confident that you prepared well, did your research, sought professional help and all and still failed at the panel? How's that possible? One stray question from an interviewer can put you off. You can't exhaust all the likely questions in your preps. So, prepare to be your genuine self and you won't have to worry about anything.
