16.Relax During a Job Interview
Few people actually like job interviewing.It's nerve-wracking trying to show your"best"self to a perfect stranger.(16)GThat's not easy,but there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.
Prepare solid talking points.It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching the company and the person interviewing you,but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses.Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one.(17)B
Remember:It's a two-way street.This is conversation,not an interrogation(审问)(18)DRemembering that this is a back and forth discussion,where you can-and-should ask questions as well as answer them,can help you feel more comfortable.
Just breathe.(19)AYour body will relax a lot.You want to avoid upper chest breathing,as it tends to just move you,stress upward to your face.
(20)Fif you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses,you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected.Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message,like,"I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do."
Work it out.Putting in some gym time on the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension.Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations(表现形式)of stress such as restlessness.
A.Before you walk into your interview,take a few deep breaths.
B.This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you're interviewing.
C.When faced with an interviewer,you may be nervous.
D.Don't forget that you're not the only one being interviewed-you're also interviewing the organization.
E.Put your idea into practice.
F.Stop the negative thoughts.
G.You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and that you can handle stressful situations.
