CONTROLLING NERVES AT INTERVIEWS
Job interviews can be worrying, just remember you will be okay! Rygor has compiled some tips to help ease your nerves on the day.
Slow your speech:
When we are nervous, it is normal to speak quicker. Be aware of this, take a breath and you can slow your speech down. By doing so, this will show the interviewer you are an effective communicator even in high pressure and unfamiliar situations. Remember, you have got this far in the recruitment process, so you deserve to be here, and you are doing your best.
No one wants you to fail:
Remember, the employer wants to meet you! They think you can do the job and want to explore it further, they want to be successful.
Prepare:
Preparation is key to reducing nerves for an interview. By showing you have a good understanding of the company and the job role, you can show the interviewer you are the best candidate for the role.
Practice:
Practice your answers. Think of relevant experience and skills that relate to the job role and practice what would you say against common interview questions. Don’t forget to take a look at our interactive interview video.
Enjoy the experience:
Going through the interview process, whether offered or not, is a great learning experience for personal development. You would improve your communication skills and better yourself for future interview situations.
Be you!
Most importantly, we want you to be you! By showing your shining personality, employers can decide whether you are the right fit for the company culture and role.
