I posted this tip to my TikTok channel earlier this week. While there are many ways and tips and tricks people suggest in reducing that "interview anxiety", I wanted to share this one piece of advice which should help you, at least a bit.
The reason you're feeling that anxiety at Job Interviews - aside from ofcourse feeling nervous about speaking to a complete stranger - is not because you lack confidence and its not because you're "weak". So firstly, quit that type of internal self-talk because you'll start believing it and it won't help you in any way.
One of the factors contributing to your Interview anxiety is simply being too outcome-focused. Most of you only have one or two interviews scheduled at a time. So if you screw up, you have nothing else in your "pipeline". THAT is why you are so nervous and anxious. Let me ask you this: if you knew you had like 4 other Interviews setup with other Organizations, would you be as anxious or nervous? It might still be there, but probably not as much.
Why?
Because you know you've got 3 or 4 other Interviews lined. You have options and because of that, you're not too worried about the outcome.
So while its easier said than done, I want you to focus on having a consistent pipeline of 3-4 Interviews always on the go during your Job Search.
