6 Tips to Overcome Interview Fear
5. Arrive early
You should get to the interview location up to an hour before your appointment. Sit in your car or in the lobby and read through your resume again. Wait till you have around 15 minutes until the interview starts, then walk on in. Being punctual is a positive, and your interviewer will remember it. Recruiters and hiring managers have heard every excuse for being late. From family emergencies to very ill pets, we’ve heard them all. We we know that maybe half of these candidates are being truthful. It really never helps your cause to lay an excuse on us.
6. Smile
Smiling can be your best friend. It’s one thing to be fearful of an interview, but it’s another thing to show your interviewer that you are scared. Smiling will at least help to eliminate a fearful look on your face. Smile and make eye contact; it brings you some much-needed interview swagger. Via: Brazen Life
