The Interview Mindset & The Law of Attraction
I have been coaching this “Interview Mindset” concept for many years when conducting Mock Interview Training for executives in transition. The real key is to never let the employer think you (the candidate) need them more than they need you.
This is very similar to dating—the more you want to date the other person, the less your chances of getting the date and falling in love. When this happens, the interest wanes and they move on to next person.
In other words, “desperation is the worst cologne or perfume!”
The bottom line is be yourself and act comfortable during the interview. When this strategy is executed properly, it can work like a charm.
Of course, preparing for the tough questions and knowing how to manage the interview process takes time and training from a professional coach—if you want to eliminate the competition and get the job offer.
When is the last time you walked out of an interview and said to yourself, I know I could have done better? So maybe it’s time to hire a professional career coach? Learn more
