Are you nerves during interview? How to overcome it? must read

Always remember you're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

• You are expected to be nervous! If you are not, it suggests that you may not want the job very much. Having said this the interviewer will expect your nerves to diminish after a few minutes.
• Try to think that it's not that important: there will be other interviews in future and it's not the end of the world if you don't get this job.
• Preparation is key - the more preparation you have done, such as working out answers to common interview questions, and doing careful research on the organisation and job, the more relaxed you will feel.
• Some people swear by visualisation. The night before, visualise yourself undergoing the whole interview, step by step, and imagine everything going really well, you answering questions confidently, and ultimately getting the job.
• Dress smartly but also comfortably as this will make you feel more confident.
• Adopting power poses beforehand can make you feel more confident at interview. Expansive body postures such as standing upright with hands on your hips, leaning over a desk with hands firmly on the surface, or steepling your hands can increase testosterone, decrease stress, and make you feel more in control, more confident and more assertive. Practicing power poses right before an interview can also increase performance. Research at Harvard Business School found that holding power poses for two minutes before interview led candidates to be evaluated more favourably and increased their chances of a job offer by 20%. So if you’re worried about a job interview or presentation, strike a power pose a few minutes beforehand (not of course at the interview!) but in the washroom, or before leaving home.

• Start the interview in a positive manner and it is likely to continue in the same way.
• Don't worry too much about making a mistake: nearly everyone fluffs one question and research suggests interviewers prefer candidates who come across as human to those who appear "plastic perfect".
• Professor Sian Bellock investigated why our performance reduces under pressure. "Getting people to write about their worries beforehand ..... can really help ...... Writing about your worries almost "downloads" them so they are less likely to pop up and impact your performance.". So the day before your interview spend some time writing down everything about it that you are worried about.
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and neurolingistic programming (NLP) are powerful techniques which help you develop a positive mind set for interviews www.kent.ac.uk/careers/sk/copingWithRejection.htm#cbt
• Mindfulness techniques can help greatly in reducing stress in interviews and similar situations and can also help with many other aspects of life by increased attention, focus and clarity.
• Listen to empowering music beforehand.  A research sudy suggests that this could help boost your confidence and feel more powerful and in control.
