But what now?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Chances are you\u2019re feeling slightly apprehensive about the big day, as every nightmare scenario plays out in your head:<\/p>\n

\u2019What if I forget everything I\u2019ve ever learned in my entire life when I\u2019m asked a question?\u2019, \u2018what if I trip on the way in and fall flat on my face\u2019, \u2018what if I get lost on the way there, lose one of my shoes and get rained on? \u2018<\/em><\/p>\n

Relax, breathe, and take your time<\/strong><\/p>\n

So you\u2019ve arrived at an interview filled with nerves; your palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy \u2013 you may also have been listening to Eminem on the way, but we digress \u2013 to put it simply, interviews are a scary ordeal.<\/p>\n

Anxiousness is inevitable, but it can be controlled with a few simple words \u2013 Breathe. Relax. And, Repeat.<\/p>\n

Remember that you\u2019ve been invited to an interview for a reason; you\u2019ve obviously done something right, and good news, they\u00a0already<\/em>\u00a0like you, so try not to dwell on the fact that you might not impress.<\/p>\n

Slow your speech down, so you\u2019re not speaking at a thousand words a minute, and take the time to think through your answers before you say them. Remember: pausing for thought is always a good idea.<\/p>\n

Nail your interview answers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people make the mistake of trying to \u2019wing it\u2019 when it comes to interviews.<\/p>\n

However, even if you feel as though the \u2018wild risk taker\u2019 approach works best for you, struggling to respond to a question you haven\u2019t prepared for won\u2019t do anything for your stress levels and, more importantly, won\u2019t get you the job.<\/p>\n

Avoid awkward silences by preparing potential answers a few days in advance. That way you\u2019ll have a clear, unstressed head to store all your newfound knowledge, and all you\u2019ll have to worry about the night before will be a quick refresh and an early night.<\/p>\n

Think of the interview as a conversation, not an interrogation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interviews are often just as much about finding out whether you\u2019re a good fit for the role as they are about skills and experience. And despite all the confusing questions that might come up, never underestimate the importance of compatibility.<\/a><\/p>\n

With this<\/a> in mind, try to act naturally. A professional attitude is important, but you also don\u2019t want to come across like a robot reeling off memorised quotes. Try and remember at least five skills, or areas of experience you have that make you a right for the role, and weave them into your answers naturally. Remember: It\u2019s a two-way conversation – not Question Time.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you\u2019re not\u00a0too<\/em>\u00a0natural. A friendly chat to get to know each other is fine, but you probably shouldn\u2019t be sharing intimate details about your soon-to-be ex just yet.<\/p>\n
