It’s Not Just What You Say

A lot of interview advice is great in theory but a lot of people fall down when they can’t put it into practice in a meeting. Some people just get too nervous to perform well enough or don’t have the right attitude or presentation. Feeling confident to do a great interview is grounded in holding positive self-esteem. We base this on the complex set of stories (memories) about ourselves and our beliefs about the way the world works. These are formed from how our mind has interpreted experience in the past.  The good news is that if we accept that our self-esteem is this made-up story; the ‘you’ of yesterday in an interview doesn’t have to be the ‘you’ in an interview tomorrow.
