5 Steps to Control Interview Anxiety

 

1. On Time is Late:

Prior to your interview, scope out the facility. Learn exactly where you'll need to be the day of the interview. On the day of, give yourself a generous amount of time to arrive at the interview location and get settled. Have a backup plan in case of traffic, vehicle malfunctions or other unforeseen circumstances. 

2. Engage in conversation:

The day of your interview, surround yourself with friends or family who make you feel good about yourself. A positive mood is infectious, and warming up your voice beforehand will also help you articulate effectively when it's time to answer questions. Practice “easy” questions before hand to gain confidence.

3. Fuel up:

Eating a healthy breakfast kick-starts your brain and elevates concentration and productivity throughout the morning. Include a "brain food" like oatmeal or fruit in your morning meal and you'll have even more of a mental edge when you're preparing for your big moment. Be cautious of energy drinks or too much coffee.

4. Get moving:

Exercising a few hours before the interview will release endorphins that relieve stress. Stay focused on your goals and drink enough water to stay hydrated.

5. Visualize:

Visualizing achievement can have a positive impact on the outcome of your performance. Humans stimulate the same portion of the brain when they visualize an action as when they are actually performing an action.  Imagine the badge being pinned on your shirt.
