Interview Tips That Will Get You Your Dream Job
Nina Hill (Professional Life Coach)
Employers consistently say that, when interviewing candidates, there is no substitute for a positive approach, honesty, professionalism and confidence. So what stops you demonstrating these traits during interviews?
Over the next seven weeks I will cover interview tips with a difference – the vital things people don?t tell you that will help you get that job offer.
If you’re like most people, you’ve had both good and bad interviewing experiences. You may have noticed a lot of what determines how well an interview goes depends on your emotional state. Or how positively you’re thinking about yourself at the time.
So how do you develop a PMA?
Positive language is key
Notice the language you use on a daily basis and start making it positive. For example is something difficult or a challenge?
The little voice in your head
Stop fuelling your inner critic with self-made poison. Tell that little voice to ?SHUT UP!? Start encouraging and energizing yourself with positive self-talk and so boost your self-confidence.
Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements you can say to yourself. The important thing is to make the statement personal, present and positive. And then to repeat it often. E.g. ?I am confident?
This will initially feel a bit strange. But by telling yourself that you are something will make it come true. Just as telling yourself you are clumsy or not confident makes it true.
Stay positive
Remember that you can have your dream job. If you have had bad luck in the past, remind yourself that there are other opportunities. Don’t focus on the things you’ve done that have hurt your job search. Focus on the things you’ve done to improve your chances and make a list of things you will do from now on. You may not get that job right away, but if you stay positive, you will get positive results.
Smile
Try having a negative thought when you are smiling ? it isn?t possible!
Remember, you have a choice about the way you think, feel and behave. Make the right choice.
