Get Prepared

0 TEAMFLY

NE OF THE BEST WAYS TO LOWER YOUR STRESS
level and avoid those sweaty palms and wobbly knees as you
face a job interview is to prepare well. Knowing you are well
prepared, your self confidence will soar. You’ll be better able
to concentrate on communicating your strengths to the employer rather
than merely trying to impress the interviewer with the “right” answers to
questions. You will feel better about yourself, and you will do better in
the interview. Thorough preparation takes time and involves some
practice, but it is a critical step to a dynamite interview.
There is no substitute for solid preparation. Don’t risk interview failure
by attempting to take shortcuts and assuming that because you are glib
you will wing-it when you get to the interview. You may be able to fill
silent spaces with talk, but your responses will most likely lack coherency
and focus, Overall, without preparation, most people engage in what
could best be termed “a stream of consciousness” and appear disorganized
and inept.
