WHY DO YOU GET NERVOUS BOTH BEFORE AND DURING JOB INTERVIEWS?
You get nervous for three reasons.
REASON #1 IS UNCERTAINTY
You don’t know what’s going to happen at the interview. Your mind will be racing and you will be asking yourself questions such as, how many people will be interviewing me, and what if I can’t answer some of the interview questions!
The truth is, none of these things really matter. What does matter, is the PREPARATION you do before your interview because this will help to boost your confidence levels. Very soon, I will tell you how you can quickly prepare for any job interview!
REASON #2 WHY YOU GET NERVOUS IS BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW THE QUESTIONS THEY ARE GOING TO ASK YOU!
The truth is, none of the candidates know what questions the interviewer is going to ask so you are not at a disadvantage. However, as someone with over 20 years’ experience helping people like you to pass job interviews, we strongly believe if you prepare answers to the following 7 interview questions, you will significantly increase your chances of success.
Q1. Tell me about yourself?
Q2. What do you know about our company?
Q3. Why do you want to work for us?
Q4. What are your strengths?
Q5. What’s your biggest weakness?
Q6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
Q7. Why should we hire you?
Now, if you would like to download the answers to all of those questions, click the link in the top right hand corner of the video when you are ready.
REASON #3 WHY YOU GET NERVOUS BEFORE AND DURING A JOB INTERVIEW IS BECAUSE YOU REALLY WANT THE JOB!
If you don’t get the job you might think you’re a failure, you might get embarrassed, or you might not be able to buy the house you’ve always dreamed of.
However, the truth is, if you don’t get the job, it really doesn’t matter. There will be more opportunities for you just around the corner and you can use this interview as a learning experience to pass the next one.
Worrying makes things worse. In fact, try to be a little bit blasé about your forthcoming interview and remember, what will be, will be!

Now, once you accept that some nerves are a good thing, it will help you to relax a little bit and perform to the best of your abilities.

TIP #2 Is To Treat The Interview As A Meeting!
The word ‘interview’ puts fear into all of us! It’s designed to put you under pressure. However, the truth is, an interview is just a MEETING between you and a potential employer to see whether or not you are going to be a good fit for their team, and whether or not you want to work for them.
Start thinking about the interview as a meeting with a potential employer and it will definitely help to calm your nerves.
TIP #3 Is To Remember That Confidence Is The Ultimate Interview Nerves Destroyer!
Now, you can quickly boost your confidence at your interview by wearing a smart outfit and taking some pride in your appearance.
Again, the truth is, if you showed up to a job interview with us, and you hadn’t made an effort in your appearance, we wouldn’t hire you.
If you wear a smart and professional outfit, it tells the interviewer you are confident, you care, and that you really want this job! First impressions are important, so wear a smart outfit to your job interview.

TIP #7 Is To Visualize Yourself Getting Hired!
