The interview is an important step in your job search. For many people, the interview is not just excitement, but real stress. From such experiences, you can simply ruin the upcoming meeting or even get sick with nerves. How to reduce stress if you can't avoid it altogether.
Instructions
Step 1
First, to avoid unnecessary stress, learn as many nuances as possible about your upcoming phone interview. Find out who will conduct it, how long it will take, where the interview will take place. When talking on the phone, be polite, calm, and welcoming. Ask to duplicate all the necessary information to you by e-mail.
Step 2
Consider your appearance in advance. Many psychologists advise you to come up with an image for an interview before you post your resume. Collect the bag. Put everything you need in it: documents, resume and recommendations, a notebook and a pen, napkins, a shoe polish, a hairbrush, a mirror, a phone and other things that you may need. Prepare shoes and clothes, they should be clean and tidy.
Step 3
Practice a little at home. Rehearse in front of the mirror your greeting, telling about yourself and answering possible questions. You can also rehearse with a camera or phone. As you look through the recording, pay attention to your manner of speaking and gesticulation. Work on the weak points.
Step 4
Carefully review your resume and job requirements. Think about the answers to the questions. Look at the various websites for hiring tests and non-standard questions. As the saying goes, he who is forewarned is armed.
Step 5
Be mentally prepared for rejection. The employer is not obliged to take you just because you came. You were called to look at you and get to know you. You must also be willing to refuse yourself. If you are immediately ready to take, but there are moments that do not suit you, discuss them and if the employer is not ready to make concessions, then be mentally prepared to leave and continue looking for the very employer with whom you will work together perfectly and bring maximum benefit.
