Picture this – you have received the much awaited interview call and are looking forward to securing your dream job. But there is one thing that is holding you back – your fear. What if you say something that interviewers don’t want to hear? What if the interviewer asks you something that you have absolutely no answer for? What if your interviewer can see right through you to know how scared you are and how carefully you are picking your words to impress him/her? What do you do in all these scenarios?
Nothing. You do nothing but remember that the interviewer is not a monster looking for fresh flesh and bones. You need to understand things from the interviewers’ perspective. There are always two sides to a coin and seeing things from an interviewers’ viewpoint will instantly help you calm your nerves. Here are two tips that will help you get over the fear of attending interviews:
· The Interviewer is rooting for your success – Conducting interviews is a time-consuming process. Interviewers need to first hunt through thousands of resumes to select one candidate that could be a good fit for the organization. And then an interview needs to be held which is once again a distraction from their main responsibilities. All interviewers thus want is to select a candidate as quickly as possible so that they can focus on more important aspects of the job. They also need to make sure that the decision is taken with utmost precision so that they do not need to worry about future mess-ups.
· Your Interview is not an exam – While giving your exams, you’re always worried about how much you are going to score or if you would even pass or fail. When it comes to attending interviews, chances are that you are thinking if you are going to pass or fail. You need to stop thinking that way because an interview is much more than an opportunity to fill a position in a company that you may or may not like. Use the interview as a tool to assess whether the company would be a right fit for you and let the interviewer do the same. There are several factors to think of while saying yes to a job – the working hours, pay scale, industry, location of the company, or even the job responsibilities. And if you look at it from an employers’ perspective, maybe you don’t have the skillset that they need or are lacking the personality that would suit the work environment.
If you think of an interview as a way to promote mutual agreement between employers and yourself then it is surely going to help you focus on giving your best, rather than worrying about the worst.
