How To Build Confidence For Interview ?
First of all, I want to tell you, that I'm very happy to talk about this. There is a-lot of thing or guidance on the internet over your interview preparation, like dress well, show-up professionally, be prepared for all the behavioral question etc. but you know what these are the techniques which everybody knows and do, so, you will appear same as the other candidates, then what do you think, this will make you confident while entering in the hiring team's room?
Earlier recruiters used to asked what your marks, have do done your masters etc. but now nobody talks about these btw, they only want to know what skillsets you posses, you do bring at the workplace which is called PNL (Profit and Loss) understanding, and are you a gadget freek or you don't know about the gadgets at all? They like to check you from your skills to thought process.
The recruiter want to see a leader in every individual these day, whether you can for an entry level executive role or for manager, you should behave like a leader for the particular role and responsibility you are carrying in the company and it should be clean and clear for the organization success. And there is a misconception among the youngsters that HR knows the every and all, you know they are hiring you then somehow and somewhere in the technology or at some topic you know better them, so be confident on your skills and knowledge. That will generate a decent confidence in you.
So, let's explore what can build a confidence in you for your interview:
1- The First Impression:
Yeah! it's true like no body's gonna see your looks or anything these days but, but.. Don't forget that is your first impression after all and psychology says that human makes their 60 to 70% perception about a person just after seeing them or just in starting of 8 to 10 seconds. And also i'm not saying that dress this or that way, just look neat and finely groomed, that will make an impact on them and on your confidence of-course.
2- The Introduction Part:
Be strong at your introduction part cause this could be a game changer, start with the hook like you can start by simply introducing yourself in two to three sentences which defines you, for example:
"Hey, i'm xyz and I'm a book or novel enthusiast, i love reading different genres but classical and fictional is what i love the most, in fiction you are a little apart from the reality and get a touch of superstition here which makes me thrilled. Also during the week it is busy schedule for me because i love to emerge with the business and learning a lot more about the services and products and i love the concept of knowing the customer."
Now here you have already raise 2 or 3 questions for the interviewer, about which you are already aware of. And come down in the sequence now next is explain where you came from or what your previous experiences, don't talk about each and every role, so keep this in your mind too.
3- Self aware:
Self awareness is key of confidence, you are self aware then no one can make you underconfident, work on your skills, you can your knowledge makes all the impact on your mind if you know how you are going to answer, you will behave confidently automatically.
4- Prepare yourself With Questions:
If you have a-lot questions in your mind regarding the company, and make sure it is genuine then it will make a strong and lasting impact on your confidence level and on recruiter as well.
These are basic and small gestures you can bucket in your introduction and first appearance, with which build a positive attitude and stronger confidence in yourself.
