How To Condition Your Mind To Ace That Interview?

One of the most exhilirating, and sometimes scary, experiences that you will face in life is the dreaded “interview”. Whether it is for a job application or for a university admission, the need to ace an interview can really put the pressure on anyone without the proper mindset conditioning.

Have you been to a situation where you felt anxious and scared when faced with an interview?

Being judged by someone who we deem “higher” than us can be quite overwhelming. And the need to prove ourselves worthy of someone’s time and investment can also bring a lot of pressure in the table. For some, this experience can be too much and they end up frozen when faced with such a situation. If you are having difficulties acing an important interview, you need to assess how you handle not only your physical but most importantly your mental self. To ace an important interview, you need to completely believe in yourself, which can only be achieved through building self-confidence.

Here are some tips that you can use as a starting point :

1. Talk to yourself in the mirror and pretend you are doing the interview – now this might sound crazy, but this stuff actually works! When you see yourself in the mirror, you will be able to see how others might perceive you and you can eliminate the movements and habits that might look awkward to the interviewer. This can help you improve how you handle yourself and add to your confidence during the interview

2. Meditate and focus on improving your mind conditioning days before the interview – cramming to prepare for the interview is not helpful because it will create pressure on yourself. When you are pressured, you are less likely to become comfortable with the interview and it might affect your confidence. If you can, try to squeeze in a few minutes of your time to meditate and reflect days before your interview. Visualizing how the interview will go is a good way to prepare yourself for the actual scenario.
