3 Tips To Overcome Interview Anxiety
Most candidates don’t realize how much power they have in the interview process 💪
Remember, while you may really want the job,
The company really wants to hire you too!
Empathize with the hiring manager for a bit. Imagine -

They’re overwhelmed with all the extra work, and
In-between their hectic schedule they sit down, and

Now they finally have someone in front of them who can help (that’s you!)

They are also thinking, “Please, be the one!”
Which means at the start of the interview, the interviewer may be as nervous as you are! 😅
So here are some tips to help clear your head so you can approach this conversation with confidence.
