It's the thoughts in your mind that make your body sweat or shake
when you get nervous. Control your thoughts and you can stop
uncomfortable feelings in your body. Move your body in certain ways,
and you can stop the negative thoughts in your mind. See the “9-step
Exercise” in part-two of this free report.
2) Negative thinking.
Nobody is a “super person” who has no faults. Don't beat yourself up!
The company has a need, and you can fill that need -- warts and all.
The company is showing confidence in you already, otherwise you
would not have been invited to the Interview. Just the fact alone that
you got the Interview should boost your self-image and self-esteem.
Think positively about yourself!
You are probably better and worth more than you think. From time to
time you may have heard other people belittle themselves by saying
“I'm no good at this” when it is clear to you that they are plenty good,
or very close to being good. Give yourself and your abilities more
credit.
Maybe you really don't have the level of skills required for the job. If
this is the case, think positively. Do you think everyone starts their
first day on the job as a total expert? No. Most people improve their
skills after they get hired. Perhaps the company expects you to “learn
on the job” to some degree. Remember, your whole goal for the
Interview is to get the offer. You can improve your skills AFTER you
get the job. Don't worry about it beforehand. Just go for it.
Of course this would make you nervous. This is a simple one to solve.
Do your homework! Spend the time to research the company,
products, competitors, etc. Make sure you completely understand the
job description and responsibilities before you go in for your Interview
-- AND come prepared with thoughtful questions.
8) Mental hang-ups.
Maybe your parents always told you that you were not good enough,
or maybe you have an idea about other people and their intentions
that is just plain wrong. As hard as it may be, try to keep an open
mind and see the future as bright and wide open. This will go a long
way in helping you control your nerves.
9) Being a perfectionist.
It is good to strive for greatness, but everything you do does not have
to be 100% perfect. If something is not right (for instance, if you spill
a bit of coffee on yourself before your interview) then just accept it.
Don't dwell on it. Taking something 80% of the way there is often
good enough. Don't worry if everything is not EXACTLY how it should
be. Just continue to visualize a positive outcome despite any
imperfections you notice in yourself, the situation, or other people.
You can't perform at your best if you are hung-over, sick, or over-
tired. When your body is run down, your nerves will get the best of
you. Try to exercise several days in a row before critical interviews,
and make sure to eat the right meal at the right time and get plenty of
rest. You want to get hired, don't you? Take these simple steps to
ensure your health is in decent shape.
Stay focused. Stay on message. You are trying to sell yourself. The
interview is not about you, or your problems. The interview about THE
COMPANY'S NEEDS -- and how you will save the company time and
money, or how you will make your future boss look good while making
his or her job easier. Remember that you are trying to solve the needs
of the company, and the work-related needs of the person that you
will be reporting to. Put your own personal worries out of your mind
during the interview and FOCUS on the company's needs, and the
needs of the OTHER PEOPLE who you will be working with. Remember
that the interview is really not about you, it's about them.
Don't “listen to yourself talk.” Don't “watch yourself from the outside.”
Don't over-analyze yourself and your performance. Don't obsess on
your appearance, your body language, or be overly concerned with
how you might be “coming off.” Try to be yourself and communicate
as naturally as possible. Imagine that you are having a conversation
with a specific close friend of yours. Someone who you are totally
comfortable with. Be truly concerned about the OTHER PERSON, not
yourself.
Maybe you have never worked in a big office before. Or maybe you
have never worked in a small office. Or maybe you are are
interviewing in an environment that is totally new and unfamiliar to
you. Don't let your surroundings distract you! Once again, stay
focused, and stay on message. Even if you are freaked out (or
intrigued) by what you see, just relax, look alive, and act like you
know.
Try the following relaxation exercise. It is best done while you are
alone, but you can still do it without other people noticing if you skip a
couple of the steps. Standing up is best, but you can also do it sitting
down.
1) Stretch out a little bit -- Stretch out your arms as if you are
holding a huge beach ball in front of you. Arch your back. At the same
time, look up to the ceiling and sit up or stand up tall. Touch your
toes.
4) Fold your arms under you rib cage -- while still holding your
breath.
8) Let you jaw hang slack -- and massage your jaw muscles a little
bit. Pinch your nose and clear your ears -- (optional).
