HOW TO BE CONFIDENT IN A JOB INTERVIEW! (11 Tips For Overcoming Interview Nerves!)

#interviews #howtobeconfident #interviewskills
In this video, I will give you 11 crucial confidence-building tips for helping you to PASS your job interview.
• These 11 tips will help you to significantly reduce interview nerves!

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #1 - STOP TREATING THIS AS A JOB INTERVIEW! 00:52
• This is a MEETING between you and a potential employer to assess your suitability for the role.
• This will help to reduce interview nerves.
• But remember, it is important to have some nerves before your interview because this shows that you care – and that’s important!

CONFIDENCE-BUILDING TIP #2 – UNDERSTAND WHAT THE INTERVIEWER WANTS! 01:39
• This is not about YOU getting a job! This is about the interviewer getting someone for the role who is going to ADD VALUE to their business.

• You must focus on HOW YOU WILL ADD VALUE to their business in the position you are applying for

• Once you start approaching job interviews in this way, you automatically put yourself ahead of the competition!

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #3 – READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION 02:39
• The job description tells you what the interviewer is looking for from the successful candidate.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #4 – SPEND 5 MINUTES RESEARCHING THEIR COMPANY! 03:49
• Before you attend the job interview, visit their website ABOUT US page. Look at their social media pages and follow them. Find one positive news story to talk about their business during the interview.

• By researching their company, it enables you to answer the interview questions:

Q. What can you tell me about our company?
Q. Why do you want to work for us?

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #5 – DRESS TO IMPRESS THE INTERVIEWER 04:30
• It is essential you dress smartly and professionally for your job interview for the following reason:

If you make an effort in how you dress, it tells the interviewer two things:

NUMBER 1. That you care about the interview. If you care about the interview, you are going to care about their organization.

NUMBER 2. It tells the interviewer that you have high standards. All employers want to take people on who have high standards.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #6 – HAVE YOUR ANSWER ALREADY PREPARED TO THE QUESTION: INTRODUCE YOURSELF. 05:29

• If you can introduce yourself at the start of your interview in a confident manner, this sets you up for the rest of the interview. If you fumble or forget what to say at the start of the interview, you will lose confidence.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #7 – BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING THE JOB! 06:10
One of the best ways to significantly increase your chances of getting hired is to be polite, to smile, and to be POSITIVE during the interview.

If you demonstrate good manners throughout your interview, and you are positive about the future, you are more likely to get hired. The biggest mistake candidates mistakes before and during their job interview is to be negative.

All hiring managers want is someone that is going to complement their team by having a can-do, positive attitude to work.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #8 – MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT DURING THE INTERVIEW 07:15

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #9 – CARRY OUT A MOCK INTERVIEW WITH A FRIEND OR RELATIVE! 07:52
Be sure to carry out a mock interview before the real thing. Sit down in a chair, and get a friend, a partner, or your parents to ask you the following 7 interview questions…

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #10 – HAVE A STRATEGY FOR WHAT YOU WILL DO IF YOU CANNOT ANSWER AN INTERVIEW QUESTION! 09:09

CONFIDENCE BUILDING TIP #11 – HAVE 3 QUESTIONS READY TO ASK AT THE END! 10:28
Q. How has the company evolved over the years?
Q. What would you need you to focus on in the role within the first 30 days of starting?
Q. What’s the culture like within the company?

Thank you so much Richard, I have been watching your videos preparing for my interviews. I readily smashed the two interviews with two different Organisations and got two job offers. All I was asked was situational questions and I used the STAR method you talked about in your videos. It was amazing!!

[ahlamboraik]

I PASSED THE FIRST INTERVIEW BECAUSE of your guidance and I will have a final interview on Monday wish me luck. Your videos add value to me so thank you for your efforts 💗

I am usually a quiet person in the workplace and lack some confidence overall. I watched your videos for a new management job interview which I got to the second round. The director called me today and said it was pretty much an even playing field for both candidates but thought the other person was a better fit for that specific role. She said liked that I was outspoken and direct with where I wanted my career, that I reminded her of herself and that she would want someone around the office she works directly out of to have her back and invited me to come and meet the team at another company she also owns... I don't know if this is a good or bad outcome but clearly I was too confident even though I was shaking on the inside 😂😂

I want to express my appreciation to you, Richard, especially for this video, though you have many other excellent videos. I was very nervous before my interview on November 14th because it was a federal job interview. I then watched your video and only followed rule number one, treating this as a meeting. You won't believe what happened. Next, my interview went very well, and I was confident and fluent, with no rambling. I have several other federal job interviews coming up, and I am not nervous at all. Thank you once more for your suggestions.

[nimitha.k.mathew]

You are absolutely amazing! I just got an offer this afternoon as a CPA candidate. I am thinking about if I want to take it because I have more interviews coming.
