Have you ever been so nervous for an interview that is has impacted how you performed?
Interviews aren’t something you need to fear, here’s why..
Most people started their careers in some sort of commercial environment, the chances are you’ve sold something to someone, even if that means you’ve shared your love of something and got someone else to try it.
As people, we naturally sell, so why do we get nervous when it comes to marketing ourselves?
Working environments involve meeting and communication with many different people, try and treat an interview in the exact same way, of course you would prepare more for an interview than you would for meeting a friend for a coffee but try and go into the meeting with a relaxed and confident mindset.
When planning to meet a customer, how do you do to prepare for that? The chances are you would research the company and individual you are meeting as well as have questions you are keen have answered to give yourself the best chance of working effectively together in partnership.
Similarly, when preparing for an interview you would do the exact same thing.
So why is a business sales pitch any different to a personal sales pitch?
Making a good first impression is something we all want to do in any people focused environment.
You might have been working in the same company for over 10 years and the thought of going through an interview process again is terrifying, or you might be looking for the next step up in your career but nerves could prevent you from achieving your goals, this is where we can help.

3 年I remember my first interview, it would've been a lot easier if I was thinking of it as a friendly chat!
