10. HOW TO BE RELAXED IN JOB
INTERVIEWS
• Take a breath, take a sip of water, and take a moment to compose yourself. It’s okay to reply — even to a
standard question — with, “Ah, let me think about that for a moment” or “Do you mean…” or “Could you
rephrase the question?” You can also ask: “Does my answer cover the issues you were asking about?”
• Regain some confidence and a sense of calm by remembering that you are interviewing the organization just
as much as it is interviewing you. You are not bereft of all control. You do have some control over the
conversation and some good questions to pose to your interviewers. After all, you want to know whether the
job and the organization can really offer what you hope to find in your next job.
• The best defense against experiencing overwhelming stress in a job interview is a good offense. Practice in
advance what you want to be sure to say, whether it’s initially asked for or not. Remind yourself of your
value, your skills, and your ability and enthusiasm about learning additional skills. If you tend to suffer from
anxiety or lack of confidence in interviews or in general, consult with a career couch or a counselor who can
help you prepare emotionally for this kind of situation. Remind yourself that you might not necessarily get
the job, but you’ll know that you’ve done your best to stay calm and ace the interview if it’s at all possible.
• If you tend to “sweat it out” literally or figuratively, make sure you’re dressed comfortably, in clothes and
shoes that allow you to breathe easily and to focus on the subject at hand.
11. HOW TO HANDLE STRESS AT
WORKPLACE
Identify your stress triggers
For a week or two, record the situations, events and people who cause you to have a negative physical,
mental or emotional response. Include a brief description of each situation, answering questions such as:
• Where were you?
• Who was involved?
• What was your reaction?
• How did you feel?
Tackle your stress triggers
Suppose, for instance, that you're behind at work because you leave early to pick up your son from school.
You might check with other parents or neighbors about an after-school carpool. Or you might begin work
earlier, shorten your lunch hour or take work home to catch up in the evening.
Sharpen your time management skills
• Set realistic goals.
• Make a priority list
• Protect your time
