IT’S INEVITABLE THAT YOU MAY GET NERVOUS BEFORE A JOB INTERVIEW, BUT SOMETIMES ANXIETY CAN TAKE OVER AND THIS CAN AFFECT HOW WELL YOU PERFORM. HERE AT PARAMOUNT PERSONNEL, WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF TIPS TO HELP COMBAT YOUR NERVES AND BEAT INTERVIEW ANXIETY. NERVOUSNESS FOR AN INTERVIEW IS TOTALLY NORMAL AND SO YOUR INTERVIEWER WILL EXPECT THIS FROM YOU. HOWEVER, IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOT LET THESE FEELINGS GET IN THE WAY OF YOU EXCELLING!
1 – Prepare for your interview
Ensure you give yourself time to prepare for this effectively so that you are not stressed at the last minute. Read through the job specification, research the company, and internet search common interview questions for that role. Although information can be retained in different ways for different people, we’ve found making notes very effective. Writing down your example answers to questions and rereading them is a great way to remember what you want to say in the interview.
?2 – Plan ahead
Eliminate stress on the day of your interview, by planning everything in advance. Have you worked out where you need to go? How are you going to get there? What do you need to bring? The night before ensure you have everything ready, including what you’re going to wear – so in the morning you have less to think and worry about. So, everything is planned and prepared you just need to make sure you get there on time. Maybe leave extra early.

A positive mental attitude may be easier said than done. But remaining positive and confident before and during your interview is vital! Visualise yourself within the role and convince yourself that there is no reason why you aren’t good enough for the job. Good energy will attract good things – if you believe in all that!
