Manage stress and anxiety before an interview by preparing thoroughly. Research the company and anticipate questions. Practice responses to common questions to build confidence. Engage in relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to calm nerves. Visualize success and focus on positive outcomes. Get adequate rest and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support overall well-being. Lastly, remember to be authentic and confident in showcasing your skills and experiences.

When we visualize something that we have not achieved, we are able to physically express with body language in this case to the interviewer that we feel comfortable and confident in the results we can achieve in the new position.

Tu cerebro no puede diferenciar lo que piensas de lo que vives, aplica el ensayo mental una técnica que le ha funcionado de maravilla a grandes atletas como Michael Phelps, imagina una pantalla ante ti en la que la película se trata de ti en la entrevista de manera exitosa, ve los detalles siente la temperatura del lugar y recrea los olores (puedes pensar en la loción que usarás), también puedes incluir una palabra clave que te permita sentirte seguro al repetirla o pensarla. Esta programación te permite que una vez estés en la situación real tu cerebro responda a los estímulos que le incorporaste en la visualización y te ayude a reducir es estrés y ansiedad.

Breathing is still the most underestimated power we all have. There's simply no other technique that has the power to calm our nervous system so quickly. And when we focus on our breath we come back to the now, because our breath is never in the past or never in the future, it is only right now.

Staying positive can have a profound impact on your mindset and overall well-being, especially during stressful situations like preparing for an important interview. Positive thinking can help shift your focus from potential obstacles and anxieties to opportunities and strengths. When you maintain a positive outlook, you're more likely to approach challenges with resilience and creativity, enabling you to tackle them with confidence and determination. Positivity fosters a mindset of growth and possibility, allowing you to view setbacks as temporary and opportunities for learning and growth. Additionally, positive thinking can influence your behavior and demeanor during the interview, making you appear more confident.

Remember that while the interviewer(s) is assessing whether or not you're right for them, you are also assessing whether or not this opportunity or this organization is right for YOU. Instead of ruminating over anxious thoughts of "I hope they like me", remind yourself that it's just as important to consider, "I hope I like THEM." Remember the unique talent, experience, and perspective that only you can bring to the table. And if it doesn't work out, it's not the end of your life. It just means there's a better opportunity coming. When you're confident in your personal strengths and the value that you bring, you're far more likely to make a favorable impression than if you show up anxious and stressed.

Make sure you understand the abilities and expertise required by doing some research and the position for which you are applying. List your own credentials and consider how they meet the requirements of the position. Exercises that involve deep breathing are a simple way to lower stress. Spend some time before the interview concentrating on your breathing. When getting ready for an interview, it's critical to keep an optimistic mindset. Make time for exercise in the days before the interview, whether it's a quick yoga session, fast walk or run. For stress relief and mental clarity, a restful night's sleep is essential. Aim for 7-9 hours of good sleep every night, especially in the days leading up to the interview.

Sleep is the best form of recovery, relax the muscles, improves learning, cells regenerates. It is also important to create the appropriate environment before sleeping and make good sleep a habit that will help us face not only the interview but the next day challenges.

Request the interview questions in advance if possible. This way you will know what to expect and can also prepare better beforehand, which will reduce the stress levels during the interview. Some companies/HR's have already started applying this new approach to the recruitment process. Even if this is not the case with the particular position you are applying for, it's worth asking about it.

Researching the company can increase your confidence and improve your preparation : - Increase your confidence: Research provides you with valuable information about the company's mission, values, culture, products/services, and recent achievements. This knowledge boosts your confidence by allowing you to speak more confidently about the company during the interview. Feeling prepared and knowledgeable about the company can help alleviate anxiety. - Improve your preparation: Knowing more about the company helps you prepare relevant questions to ask during the interview. This demonstrates your genuine interest in the company and the role, which can alleviate anxiety by giving you a sense of control and engagement in the conversation.

It is important to analyze possible questions that they could ask us, and how we would answer them, as well as ask interesting questions regarding the company and the position to which we are applying, in case they ask us.

Embrace mindfulness, thorough preparation, and visualization to turn anxiety into achievement. Step forward with confidence, refine your skills through feedback, and demonstrate your strategic prowess. Take control of your professional destiny and shine in your next interview! 🌟📘🌬️🧘♂️ For more insights, explore "Mastering the Interview: Techniques for Success" by Dr. Emily Stone.
