The Scenario
Whether you’re a first timer or a career veteran, job interviews can be immensely stressful.
It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous. But if interview jitters get in the way of showing off your true strengths and achievements, they could jeopardise your chances of success.
The good news is that we have some techniques you can use to remain cool, calm and collected when you walk through that interview room door.

Learning objectives.
Through this module, you will:
- Discover how posture influences not only your chances of success, but also your physiological state
- Follow a guided meditation to learn an effective mindfulness technique for reducing stress and anxiety
- Develop a research-based self-counselling practice to quieten your ‘inner critic’ and break the cycle of nerves, negative thoughts and self-criticism
