2.TalkYourself Up
You are confident, you are a boss girl.
You’ve got this. If you're nervous come up with a little self-confidence mantra to repeat to yourself on your way to the interview.
3. Dress Like a Queen Wear something you’re comfortable in
This is so important! It is NOT a good look being sat there fidgeting with a skirt that is super smart but doesn't quite fit you right.
4. Be Kind
A
little
thoughtfulness
and
politeness
can go a long way for making a good impression. As I said earlier, it's really essential to treat everyone you come across with kindness and respect. Do it, and likely you’ll be treated the same.
5.ARRIVE EARLY
10 minutes is the right amount of time to get settled, hopefully, they'll offer you a coffee or tea, and you'll have time to compose yourself. But give yourself more than 10 minutes, allow for a little travel lee-way, delayed trains and traffic are not your friends.
6. LetYour Personality ShineThrough
7. Prep SmallTalk
So this may seem a little overkill, but I think it's really useful to have some talking points ready for moments where small talk is relevant.
8. Be Honest
No seriously, not even little white lies slightly stretching the truth. Don't lie about being fluent in Spanish when you only know "no, hablo español", nothing is more certain to land you in hot water in the future and make your work life super difficult.
9. Open Body Language
Okay, I know you're nervous and so you want to curl up into a little protective ball, but you need to project confidence even if you aren't really feeling it. Stand or sit up straight, pull your shoulders back, chin up, and centre yourself.
10. It's Not the End ofThe World
If you're too nervous that's gonna throw you off your game. Relax. Even if it seems like the perfect job it is not the end of the world if you don't get it, other opportunities will come around.
When you first meet them, smile when you shake their hand.
