hey everybody Don Georgevich here I
hope you're doing well today in this
video I'm going to teach you how to
become less nervous in the interviews
now before we can do this we need to
find out why you're nervous what is it
about the interview that's making you
nervous if you just say interviews make
me nervous then you need to start asking
yourself some questions and this is what
I do with people want to work with them
on the phone I try to dig deep into this
and find out the root of their
nervousness now for some people they're
just afraid that the interviewer is
going to ask them a question that they
don't know how to answer and I suppose
that might make you nervous because if
they ask you a lot of questions and you
don't know how to answer any of them
you're probably not going to get the job
so what you want to do is find out what
it is about you that makes you nervous
is it a lack of experience I mean let's
say you're interviewing for a job and
you don't really have the experience for
it and you're afraid they're gonna ask
you questions that reveal that you don't
have the experience if that's the case
then you need to educate yourself in
that area that you're interviewing for
so that you're more familiar with some
of the terminology that they might be
using in this interview and that you
would be using on this job if they hired
you so some people are just nervous
because they might not get the job and
they need it they need the money they
need it to make a house payment a car
payment or or just to live whatever it
is so just the very essence of their own
insecurities about interviewing has them
just scared to death and they're really
nervous so you need to find out what it
is about you is it just the questions
that they're gonna ask and that you're
not going to be able to answer them
correctly or is it just plain old fear
that they're not going to be that
they're not going to be impressed with
you most people are afraid of questions
most people are just terrified of
answering the questions the wrong way
that they're gonna get asked a question
that that they don't know how to answer
or they're going to get asked a question
and they're nervous
that they won't be able to stop talking
some people just love the talk and talk
and they talk themselves into circles
when they're answering questions and
they end up giving the interviewer just
way more information than they need one
of the best ways to reduce your nerves
before the interview is get yourself a
video camera and if you don't have a
video camera use your phone but whatever
you do get it out there get it in front
of you and look at it and pretend you're
in the interview it tell you what better
yet do this do this go out on go get
yourself a picture of some people
business people in suits I'm sure you
can find an image go to Google Images
find yourself a picture of people in
business suits and print it out and put
it in front or and back of your video
camera and pretend that that is a panel
of interviewers that you are talking to
and then pretend that they're asking you
questions and then you answer them
answer them the way that that you want
to answer them and then what you do is
you go back and you watch that video and
you see how long it takes now if it's
taking you three or five or ten minutes
to answer the questions that's far too
long so get yourself a list of some
common interview questions I actually
have a whole list you can go to Java
devtools comm slash top ten and you can
download my top ten list of questions
and use the and understand how to answer
these questions so now you've got the
questions you've got the video camera
now get in front of the camera and start
answering those questions and then watch
that video and see how you did see how
long it took you it should take you
maybe 30 to 60 seconds to answer those
questions get comfortable doing this do
this over and over and over again until
you can just sit back and comfortably
answer any of those questions while
you're looking at your camera and while
you're looking at a picture of some
business people in suits this is going
to help calm your nerves it's going to
increase your confidence because you're
going to teach yourself that you are
comfortable answering these questions
and that you're answering them the right
way so make sure when you answer them
but they're about 30 to 60 seconds long
when you listen when you listen back to
what you said try to take note of all
the um zand the AWS and the pauses that
you put into your answer and try to take
those out in your next take and shoot
that video again answer that question
again and try to do it cleaner and you
just keep doing this over and over and
you refine your answering technique and
when you haven't refined the answering
technique and you go into an interview
you're going to be so much more
comfortable and confident and you're
going to be able to answer their
questions sure you're probably going to
be a little bit nervous obviously that
that goes with the territory
that's our that's our brains way of
protecting us believe it or not your
brain is making you be a little bit
nervous because it's pushing you to get
prepared for the interview so get
prepared practice common interview
questions and like I said go to my site
jabber to view tools comm slash top down
I'll put a link in the video description
you can go grab that guide and that's
going to teach you how to answer some of
the more common interview questions
another great way that you can use to
calm your nerves
this is goodness this technique works
great pretend that it's not an interview
just get that out of your mind think
about it as an opportunity to teach
someone what you're good at doing so I
can pretty much guarantee that if you
and I were to sit down and have a
conversation and you were going to show
me something that you know how to do
pretty sure you wouldn't be nervous
so remove the whole job interview
element from it looking at look at it as
an opportunity to teach someone
something so when you go into the
interview and they ask you questions
about your experience just look at look
at it as a way of educating them on what
you know say oh yes I've worked on
certain things like that here's some of
the projects that I've worked on here's
how I did it
and then what you do is you ask them
questions back ask them questions you
know have you guys ever had problems
like this or have you ever worked on
projects like this engaged
in your answer and when you start
engaging them and asking them questions
while you they're asking you questions
this brings everybody into the
conversation and you know what happened
to your nerves you forget about them
they're gone they're they're out the
window so think about an interview as an
opportunity to teach someone about what
you are good at doing I guarantee it I
guarantee you will not be nervous if you
take that approach to it
yeah and and lastly don't shoot yourself
in the foot if you think that you need
to get this job that you must get this
job and you put this enormous pressure
on yourself before the interview that
you know what we have to get this job no
matter what don't screw it up you know
you're talking to yourself don't screw
this up go in there and get the job if
you put that kind of pressure on
yourself you're probably dead before you
even start it you're you're not going to
be able to handle that kinda be able to
handle your own internal pressure let
alone the pressure that you're going to
get from the interviewers so I urge you
don't put that kind of pressure on
yourself
look at this job objectively go in and
share with them what you can do and make
them sell this position to you ask them
questions like you know what what is it
like to work here what can I expect to
be doing make them answer some of your
questions make them try to tell you that
you're gonna like it here and what
that's going to do that's gonna create a
nice balanced conversation between the
both of you it's gonna relieve all the
pressure that you're feeling and you're
gonna go in there and you're gonna
objectively be yourself you're gonna
objectively interview and you're just
gonna be the real you and that's what
they want to see when you let all this
fear inside of you this nervousness
inside of you they can't see the real
you anymore because all that fear puts
up a barrier and it's like it shields
you for
them so all they can see is this barrier
and they don't really know the real you
and that's why people who just go in are
just so crazy nervous in the interview
never get the job because the
interviewer can't see who they really
are so when you're in there relax
yourself smile if you smile in the
interview just smiling is going to
release so much tension that you're
feeling it's going to put you at ease
it's gonna make you feel like you can
sit back in the interview cross your
feet put your hands on the desk and talk
comfortably and confidently trust me on
this this is how you do it this is going
to cut your nerves
so to recap go to Japanese Vito's calm /
top ten get a list of questions get a
free my free list of questions practice
them in front of the camera and review
your answers improve them make them
better and pretend when you're in the
interview that you are teaching them
about what you are good at doing and I
guarantee all of your nerves will just
go out the window
