How to Become More Confident in Your Job Interviews
The interview process is how you think about it, and it is all mindset. Being able to interview for a position is also a skill, and the more you practice, the better you become at it. The more you go through the process, the more you get comfortable talking about your skill and the results you’re able to bring forth, and the easier it becomes.  If you are not doing well in interviews and feel nervous and overwhelmed, it’s because you don’t do it often. Prepping and changing the way you think about the interview process will help you ensure that you want to invest your skills in the right company. The aim of the interview process is to get you the right job. Allowing yourself to have options gives you more room to breathe and show up as yourself. Take the pressure off and give yourself permission to say yes only to the right job.
