Who is Interviewing Whom?
Interviewing for a job can be a nerve wracking experience. For many people, the interview is fraught with internal questions of self-worth, personal value, and whether or not they “like” you.
It’s not only the interview itself that induces anxiety, but the days and hours leading up to it, as well as the days spent wondering afterwards.
What if there was one simple mindset shift that could make the interviewing process not only less stressful, but give you a better opportunity for a positive outcome?
There is, so let’s get right to it.
Most people go into an interview thinking about BEING interviewed. They sit down and wait for questions. They sit there and hope that they have good answers to the questions asked. They sit there and worry about being asked a question they can’t answer well.
All while trying to “show-up” as a smart and capable candidate.
Here’s the problem with that…you are focusing on YOU, and that is the worst thing you can ever be focused on if you want to succeed. ;)
Let’s make a mindset shift. Going forward, walk into interviews thinking about you interviewing THEM.
After all, if I am a smart, capable person, that will come out. I don’t have to try and show you those things. What I DO need to show you…
