If the thought of sitting across from a hiring manager makes your stomach turn, you’re not alone. But don’t let your nerves get the best of you! Try one of these strategies to help you feel calm, cool, and collected—or at least make you appear that way.
Just Breathe
While waiting to be greeted by your interviewer, take a few moments to breathe. By doing this, you can redirect the disturbing emotion you’re experiencing.
Don’t Fidget
Nervous fidgeting is one of the most telltale signs that you’re worried, so this is a critical skill to master.
Make Eye Contact
One of the best ways to show a hiring manager you’re more confident than you feel is to keep steady, natural eye contact throughout the interview.
Press Pause
Some of us tend to ramble when we’re nervous. This can be dangerous because once we start talking, it’s incredibly easy to veer off topic and say more than what’s needed—or worse, more than what’s appropriate.
Think Positively
Finally, calm your nerves by reminding yourself that you deserve to be there. Hey, you wouldn’t have been invited to interview if you weren’t being seriously considered as a candidate! Use this knowledge to your advantage to mentally pump yourself up before the interview.
