Graduating and applying for a job can be quite stressful, but there are many ways that you can build up your confidence and become successful in getting the job you want.
Here are some tips on building up confidence at interviews, in order to get your dream job!
Believe in yourself
It can often be difficult to get the self confidence you need when you are under the watchful eye of a potential employer.
However it is always important to believe in yourself. The employer would not have even called you for an interview if they didn't feel that you have something to offer. Think about your strengths and what you could bring to the company and let that shine through.
Put yourself in the mindset of the employer: What are the things that you'd want to here from a potential employee? What contributions would you want from a potential employee?
Preparation is key
If you do feel nervous at interviews it may help to get extra preparation prior to the interview. The more you prepare for the interview the less nervous you should feel. You could try going through a list of potential questions and thinking about what you might say.
It may also be helpful to look at the company background and what you could offer them.
Focus on the postives
Try to focus on the positive things that you could personally bring to the company. Do you have any good examples of work experience?
Perhaps you could mention these examples if relevant and back up your positive attributes and achievements with examples. This will not only impress the employer but will also boost your confidence.
Try not to stress
Attending interviews can be nerve wracking but try not to get too stressed over it. Take a deep, calm breath and try your best.
At the end of the day if you prepare well, smile and try your best at the interview then you know that you have done everything you can. Ultimately you will land the perfect job for you when you and the employer believes that you are the right fit for the position and it will happen!
I hope this helps to answer your question :)
