You did it! You made it to your second interview, and maybe
you’re feeling a new wave of interview jitters. Feeling nervous is natural and
sometimes can even be a good indicator of how badly you want something, like a
new position. In this blog, a local recruitment firm
has provided three tips on how to settle your nerves before your second
interview so that you can bring your best self to your second interview!
Review Your
Notes
Before your second interview, go back to your first
interview notes and review what you and your interviewer discussed during your
meeting. Doing this will help refresh your memory and prepare you for any
additional questions the hiring manager may have. Reviewing these notes will
also help you compose a list of new questions you may have or would like the
interviewer to elaborate on.
Prep for
Group Interviews
Group interviews are a technique utilized by some companies
to see different aspects of you and your skill set. During group interviews, you
are usually interviewed simultaneously with other candidates who are either
vying for the same position or a similar one. Hiring managers look for how well
you interact within a group setting and how comfortable you are providing your
insight and opinions. Ensure that you practice your speaking skills before your
meeting, and it may even be helpful to ask those around you to help you prepare
by doing a mock group interview.
Show
Confidence
While you may be nervous, be sure to show confidence in your
skills and experience! You can do this by speaking clearly and not answering
questions too hastily. You can also show confidence through the body language
you use while speaking. Body language can be a good indicator of how
comfortable you are in your current situation. It may be useful to look up
certain mannerisms you can incorporate while speaking to show your confidence!
It's okay to be nervous! But if you are looking for ways to
calm those interview jitters, reviewing your notes, prepping for group interviews,
and showing confidence can be a great way to start. Utilize your local career
services if you find that you need more professional guidance on the
interview process. At the end of the day, don’t be afraid to be yourself, and
good luck!
