Speaking of Interviews....

Writing the right email and having the perfect curriculum vitae can only lead to an interview. A sigh of relief, a glimmer of hope…

... until of course fear starts to set in as you realize that your going to have to actually present yourself in an interview!

The interview is nothing if not taxing on one's emotions. So much seems to be riding on the outcome of one simple spot in time devoted to picking your brain and judging whether you are the right person for the job or not.

Sounds scary... and it is of course. But let's be realistic, after all, even the boss had to start somewhere. Employers are not the big scary people we tend to see them as when going to an interview. They're just like you only a little further ahead in their careers than you are.

Having the right attitude is essential when preparing for an interview. Preparation, self-confidence and perhaps a little humor are all necessary when undertaking an interview. So go on, take a deep breath, just remember to exhale!
