Getting into the Interview Mindset

As recruiters, we conduct several interviews every day, but we sometimes forget what it's like to be on the other end of the interview. "Intimidating", "scary", "nerve-racking" - there are many words that can describe the job interview, but "fun" isn't usually one of them.

Nevertheless, a little bit of nervous energy is good, and there are ways you can ensure that you are prepared and ready for the interview. 

I stumbled on an article on Recruiter.com which describes getting into the right mindset for your interview - you need to prepare yourself mentally so that you aren't overwhelmed but also that you don't over-present yourself. 

Here are a couple guidelines and tips for getting yourself into the right mindset: 

1. Do your prep work 
2. Sell yourself 
3. Don't overstretch yourself
4. Remember to interview them as well
5. Focus on the big three
6. Remain persistent
