How to cope with stress during a job interview?

According to HBR (Harvard Business Review). The problem is that job interviews are an unusual type of conversation that needs confident recitation of our strengths that wouldn’t fly in other social interactions, unlike a relaxed chat with a friend.

Here are some tips for coping with stress during a job interview:

• Regain some confidence and a sense of calm by remembering that you are interviewing the organization just as much as it is interviewing you. You are not bereft of all control. You have some control over the conversation and some good questions to pose to your interviewers.?

• The best defense against experiencing overwhelming stress in a job interview is a good offense. Practice in advance what you want to be sure to say, whether it’s initially asked for or not. Remind yourself of your value, your skills, and your ability and enthusiasm about learning additional skills.?

• If you tend to “sweat it out” literally or figuratively, ensure you’re dressed comfortably, in clothes and shoes that allow you to breathe easily and focus on the subject.

Remind yourself that stress in an interview is not only normal — it’s necessary. Prepare yourself for stress while you train yourself to do a great job, take that deep breath, and know that you can manage an unexpected challenge. Use your stress effectively and land the job you want.
