Interviews, especially the ones that will change the direction of your career are very scary, especially if you have or have not prepared for it. The anxiety before the interview can cause someone to flop during the interview process.
Below are ways that can help you relax your nerves before the big interview.
Do some Exercise the morning of your interview
This will help you to burn off the energy of anxiety and increase the production of endorphins that will make you feel good about yourself.
Eat a healthy breakfast
Do not take too much coffee or energy drinks as they might make you jitter. Do not plan to eat or drink anything while going for the interview. You do not want to risk spilling anything on your outfit.
Meditate before the interview
Create time to focus and clear your mind of negative energy and thoughts.
Arrive early
Arriving early at the place of interview will be a bonus on your points. This will also give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the place and also give you time to go to the restroom and freshen up if needed.
Practice interview questions
Review your answers to possible questions one more time. Practice smiling. People often forget to smile during the interview.
Wear your power outfit
This is the outfit that makes you feel successful and confident and is appropriate for your interview.
Listen to music
On your way to the interview listen to your favorite songs as they will calm your nerves yet energize you.
