1 Plan ahead

The first step to reduce stress is to plan ahead. Make a list of all the tasks you need to do before the interview, such as researching the company, updating your resume, preparing answers to common questions, and choosing your outfit. Then, prioritize them according to urgency and importance. Assign a realistic deadline and a time estimate for each task. Use a calendar, a planner, or an app to keep track of your progress and reminders.

Let's say you are hosting a dinner party that starts at 7:00 PM. You need to make food, run an errand to pick up a few missing things, clean your house, present the food, set the table, light some candles, get ready personally, and send out messages to the attendees in advance of their arrival. These are all very disparate items but all need to be accomplished by a certain time (end point: guests arrive), however, as many of us have thrown parties, we manage to get it all done. Humans are amazing this way! Interview preparation should not take more than two hours (barring tests, presentations, or case studies). Find and commit to those two hours, even if it's four blocks of 30 minutes. You've got this!

2 Delegate or eliminate

The second step to reduce stress is to delegate or eliminate. You don't have to do everything yourself. Ask for help from your family, friends, or colleagues if you can. For example, you can ask someone to proofread your resume, run an errand for you, or take care of your pet while you prepare. You can also eliminate some tasks that are not essential or relevant for the interview. For example, you can skip cleaning your house, checking your email, or browsing social media.

3 Focus and relax

The third step to reduce stress is to focus and relax. When you work on a task, give it your full attention and avoid distractions. Turn off your phone, close your tabs, and find a quiet place to work. This will help you finish faster and better. When you take a break, do something that relaxes you and recharges you. Listen to music, meditate, exercise, or read a book. This will help you calm your nerves and boost your mood.

I am not someone who procrastinates. If I know something is scheduled, then I make certain that I have everything ready ahead of time, that allows me to relax and enjoy the time that I have with my friends and co-workers who attend this event.

4 Practice and review

The fourth step to reduce stress is to practice and review. One of the best ways to prepare for an interview is to practice your answers aloud. You can use a mirror, a recorder, or a friend to simulate the interview situation. This will help you improve your confidence, clarity, and delivery. You can also review your resume, your research, and your questions for the interviewer. This will help you refresh your memory, highlight your strengths, and show your interest.

5 Sleep and eat well

The fifth step to reduce stress is to sleep and eat well. The night before the interview, make sure you get enough sleep and avoid caffeine, alcohol, or spicy food. This will help you rest your body and mind, and prevent any discomfort or disruption. The morning of the interview, make sure you eat a healthy and balanced breakfast and drink plenty of water. This will help you energize your brain and body, and prevent any hunger or thirst.

ALWAYS. Healthy and long lasting. Personally, I eat small meals throughout my day. I'm grumpy if I'm hungry. Plenty of hydration (3 liters daily for me). I have the best kidneys on the planet.

6 Arrive early and smile

The sixth step to reduce stress is to arrive early and smile. The day of the interview, make sure you leave enough time for traffic, parking, and checking in. This will help you avoid any rush or delay, and give you time to settle in and relax. When you meet the interviewer, smile and greet them warmly. This will help you make a good impression, build rapport, and ease the tension.
