A job interview is an interview consisting of a conversation between a job applicant and a

representative of an employer which is conducted to assess whether the applicant should be
hired.[1] Interviews are one of the most popularly used devices for employee selection.
Interviews vary in the extent to which the questions are structured, from a totally unstructured
and free-wheeling conversation, to a structured interview in which an applicant is asked a
predetermined list of questions in a specified order;structured interviews are usually more
accurate predictors of which applicants will make suitable employees, according to research
studies.

5. It’s natural to feel anxious before an interview. But by preparing well and adopting the right
attitude you can learn to control your pre-interview nerves and channel them into something
positive.
The situation itself puts us out of our comfort zone. None of us like to give up control to others
when it comes to something as important as your career. And almost everyone gets nervous
during interviews to one extent or another — sometimes even the interviewer is nervous!

Because somewhere, I think interviews are an unfair mean to judge a person. Too quick, too
short, too limited. A human is much more complex than an hour of discussion or a resume.
However, due to immense competition and time constraints, interviews have become a
common source of selection.
Interviews are a source of insecurity
Apart from this, no one knows what the interviewers are looking for; sometimes, people with
the most wrong answers are selected over those who answered most correctly.
So what shall we do?

7.Practice makes perfect

Research is vital, but what really helps is running through your answers to interview questions
aloud a few times, first with your notes and then without. The more familiar you are with the
material you have prepared, the less nervous you’ll feel.
Get a friend, relative or trusted colleague to do some interview role-play with you. Choose
someone you know will be supportive and kind, but also honest. They can give you invaluable
feedback on what you did well, and highlight any areas you could improve on. Constructive
feedback can help you separate genuine areas for improvement and baseless insecurities.
8.Sort your outfit
Decide on your outfit well ahead of time, and make sure it’s clean and ironed. While you might
want to wear something new, make sure it’s not too tight or uncomfortable – you don’t want to be
worried on the day about a shirt with a too-tight top button or a pair of brand new shoes that are
pinching painfully. Ideally go for an outfit that’s smart but comfortable.

8.Know who you're meeting

Finding out how many people you’re likely to be meeting and who they are can help reduce
your nerves too. Knowing if it’s a one-to-one meeting or a panel format can affect the way
you prepare, for example. And if you find out a bit about the people you’re to meet – for
instance, by looking at their LinkedIn profiles – you can get a flavour of the sort
of questions they’re likely to ask, as well as develop ideas for interesting small talk to help
you build rapport with them.

8.Think positively and be confident.

Prior to the interview, visualize yourself doing a great job, answering the questions clearly and
impressing them with your knowledge of the company, If you have a trembling voice or
butterflies in your stomach, take several deep, calming breaths. Try to maintain a natural smile,
she adds.

9.Accept the fact that mistakes will happen.

“Employers aren't looking for perfect, they're looking for flexibility and resilience,” Taking the
pressure off the perfection valve will help you perform better and will show your future
employer that you can have grace under fire. If you can do it in the interview, you can do it on
the job.”
 9.Remember that there are other jobs out there.

“Don't put too much pressure on yourself because you're interviewing for a job and you've put all
your eggs in one basket,”. “If this was the only job out there and this was your only job interview,
it would be understandable why you would be so nervous--but just remind yourself that if you don't
get this job, there are other ones out there.”

9...and then relax

On the night before the interview, try not to do any last-minute cramming. Instead, do something
you find fun and relaxing. Laughter can reduce levels of stress hormones and anxiety so meet up
with a fun friend who always takes your mind off things, or watch an undemanding movie that
always puts you in a good mood.

10Concluzie

When you’re applying for a job, you’ll hear a lot of interview questions—and some are trickier
than others. The interviewer is looking for insight into why and how you are motivated to achieve
workplace goals and succeed at the job.

The hiring manager will also be seeking to discover whether the factors that motivate you are
aligned with the company’s goals and with the role in which you would be working.

Finally, remind yourself that you’re not jumping out of an airplane, or battling a shark. You’re
facing one, maybe two people, and having a nice conversation about your career.

So, not all the pressure’s on you. Remember that this isn’t just going to be them grilling you—you
have questions you need answered, and they’re probably nervous about making a good impression,
too.
