Here's how you can enhance your interview communication skills with mindfulness.

Mindfulness in this context is really not about a practice that is separate from living life, before or after a job interview or that is added to the list of routines of your day. Being mindful or conscious is a continuous default state that requires an "effortless effort" that can and should continuously be exterted during an interview. That does not mean being tense of thinking things through all the time. It means simply being aware of what is going on in the physical, emotional and cognitive field.

La escucha es importante porque demuestra el interés en el momento presente, al escuchar de forma activa se puede dar una respuesta mucho más enfocada, relacionando las necesidades de la empresa y las habilidades del entrevistado, para que la conversación sea más interesante, aporte valor y deje una imagen muy genuina de recordación para el posible empleador.

Mindful listening as it is called here is not judt another choir on your list of things to take care of. Mindful listening is your default mode of operation. Within this field of awareness or consciousness one notices whatever happens in the emotional, cognitive and physical realm. So it is not about forcing oneself to put another strenuous layer of activity on top of the listening, it is just about being aware of what is manifesting within one's field of awareness and gently letting go of all that is not relevant at the moment of the interview. In that relaxed state one's performance will be optimal. One can start with being aware of bodily sensations and tension and sending awareness to the places in the body that need relaxation.

Stress is frequently triggered during interviews, but you may manage it with mindfulness. When you observe symptoms of anxiety, like a speeding heartbeat or shallow breathing, accept these emotions without passing judgement and gently return your attention to your breathing. You can stay calm and lower your stress levels by doing one small thing. You can think more clearly and confidently convey your credentials and experience if you maintain your composure.

The extra effort to speak in a certain way may in fact hinder one's spontaneous ability to interact in an authentic and persuasive manner. When one creates awareness around what is happening in one's mind, emotions and body during an interview (or any other exercise for that matter), one can trust that speech will happen in the most natural and optimal way possible. Stay concsious of the breath, stay conscious of the tension in the body and let your thoughts come and go, like clouds. Life knows what it is doing and any possible outcome will eventually help your soul to learn the lessons it needs to learn in life. Trust that universal truth and one will eventually get where one truly needs to get, even though the ego might suggest otherwise.

I believe 'Reflecting and Adapting' is a great habit for all. It empowers you to see how you came across, be aware of how you would've liked to have come across, and make the necessary shifts for the next time. Reflecting allows you the ability to see what was going on internally as you were listening and processing the conversation. Reflecting also allows you to see how the other is reacting to your input. If in the reflection you can see yourself being defensive or blaming - you can make the necessary shifts in the moment . This makes 'Reflecting and Adapting' a powerful tool to use during the interview process as well as after. If you can perfect this skill you'll be able to have a better success rate in your interviews.
