Ep137: How to overcome interview anxiety.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses why job seekers often experience anxiety during the interview process. While common tips like staying calm and preparing are helpful, they don’t address the root causes of interview anxiety.
Key Highlights
👔 Anxiety during interviews is common among job seekers and can hinder their performance.
📝 Feeling unprepared may be due to ineffective preparation methods, such as relying on motivational videos instead of focusing on substance.
💪 Overcoming the mindset block of feeling inadequate is crucial to boost confidence during interviews.
🏢 Premature anxiety about company culture should be avoided, as it can cloud judgment before even experiencing the company firsthand.
📄 Taking your resume seriously and being strategic in its content can help reduce anxiety by ensuring you are well-prepared to discuss your qualifications.
🎙️ The way you say something (confidence, delivery) and what you say (positioning, unique selling points) are both important aspects of interview performance.
🤝 Recognizing the distinction between HR/recruiters and hiring managers is important, as hiring managers have the final say in the hiring process.
