Remaining Relaxed During An Interview
A state of relaxed alertness will yield optimum results in an interview or an important meeting. To relax, you need to defuse all sense of confrontation, instead see the meeting as a friendly fact finding exchange and an opportunity to talk quietly of your achievements. 1. Think of your interviewer as someone with whom, very soon, you might find that you have a great deal in common – perhaps not a friend, but someone you enjoy talking to.2. If the questions become difficult, think of the Supreme Being in the form of a person who is spectrally in the room (visualization) – perhaps standing behind the interviewer. Imagine him as a friend urging you on, applauding your handling of the situation, willing you to succeed. 3. If the interviewer seems unfriendly, say to yourself: it is because he or she has difficulty with the situation. Respond calmly and pleasantly.
