It's been a long time since I had a job interview. And I'm having one tomorrow.
Anxiety level? TO THE MAX!
Having failed in many interviews before, it is no surprise I will get jitterbugs and start wondering if there is something wrong with me. Surely there is something wrong?
I'm an introvert kind of person. I hate being in a social circle, especially among people that I have just met. I am not that "social butterfly" as people call them and that is so weird considering that every Marketing personnel should generally be a "social butterfly".
Having said that, I tried practicing for tomorrow's interview and got frustrated. Why does it seem easy for others and not me... Being depressed at the thought of staying in the current company with no further career progression, I turned to my best friend "GOOGLE" for some advise...
I love this article: It's Worth a Try: An Introvert's Guide to Surviving a Job Interview
It gives you the pump and energy that turns the table around, and makes you, the introvert, leads the conversation. I mean, definitely I am not going to try it because it seems too extreme but I like the fact that the writer "made the interviewers her bitch". LOL.
What a good but weird piece of advise! There are some good pointers though, for example, listening to music that makes you stronger and feel full of confidence before the interview. I'm going to try this tomorrow :)
