Dealing with Interview Nerves

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, and it’s perfectly normal to feel a bit anxious. Maybe it’s been a while since your last interview, or you’re facing tough competition. Perhaps talking about yourself isn’t your strong suit, or you’re unsure about handling an online interview. If it’s an internal interview, you might be unsure about what to share. And let’s not forget the pressure of having just one shot and the high stakes involved, including a potential pay increase and personal pride. No pressure, right?

Whether you tend to over-talk or under-talk when nervous, Patricia will teach you how to communicate your value confidently and authentically and help you overcome any nerves you may have.

Additional Mock Interview 

After completing our interview skills training, consider engaging in additional mock interview practice to refine your responses and enhance your confidence. This becomes especially beneficial when encountering stiff competition and if it’s been a while since your last interview.

Our initial training lays a sturdy groundwork, while additional mock interview sessions offer opportunities to elevate your preparedness and ease during interviews. You’ll receive tailored guidance on tackling additional competency-based interview questions relevant to the position sought. Such practice not only helps uphold your professional image but also strengthens your self-assurance.
