Job Interview Confidence 1
Pro-activeness not procrastination
In the weeks leading up to the job interview you need to prepare your interview answers. Start by improvising what you would say, knowing at this stage that you will make mistakes.
After each rehearsal, reflect and edit your script. This pro-activeness increases memory. When asked a question, the answers will flow.
Many failed interviewees will replace pro-activeness with procrastination. The fear of the job interview stops them preparing which can only lead to interview failure.

Deep Breathing

Actors perform their best when they feel the emotions they want to express with their performance. Feel the confidence you will express when you play this role in the job interview
By focusing on confidence, you will feel more confident.
