如何克服面試恐懼心理

It worked! The cover letter, the resume1, the research, the prayers - it's all come together, you've got the interview. Not the job, just the interview. 興奮嗎?緊張嗎?還是心裏沒底、忐忑不安?Now all you have to do is go face-to-face with some super-important suit and persuade him that you're the most desirable thing he's clapped eyes on (看見,遇到) since he met his executive2 parking space. What is an interview?

The best way to look at an interview is as a conversation rather than an interrogation. In a conversation, information flows both ways and after all, you want to learn about the company you may be working for as much as they want to learn about you. You want to make sure the job fits you no less then they want to be sure you fit the job. If you can think of the interview as an opportunity to check them out, you'll show that you're interested in the company, you'll feel more relaxed, you'll perform better and you'll increase your chances of getting an offer.

What kind of interview are you in for?

There are a number of different approaches an interviewer can take. Perhaps the most common is the clarification interview, in which the interviewer asks general questions about points on your resume that he'd like to know more about. You may get asked what your career goals are, or what you think you can bring to the job. Know your resume, know how to make it fit the job and interviews like this should be a walk in the park.

An interviewer may also throw in some doubt-resolving questions: "Why did you leave your last job? ","Are you always this late? ","Where it says on your resume, "manufacturing mailbags for the government", where exactly was that? "Be aware of the weaknesses on your resume and prepare some nice flowery words to cover any career cracks and flatten3 the interviewer's unfounded fears.

Increasingly popular are behavioral interviews, an approach which consultants4 claim is used by a quarter of interviewers. You may be asked to describe an incident in which you had to use your initiative5 under pressure, deal with a difficult worker or work as part of a small team. The idea is that your past behavior will predict your future actions in similar situations and the questions the interviewers ask will highlight skills they believe are important to the job.

To handle questions like these, think about your work experiences, and retell them in STAR order: Situation/Task, Action and Result. Identify the situation or task you were dealing6 with, explain the action you took and describe the results.

Preparation is the best way to beat behavioral interviews

 擴展:壓力下工作的8個放鬆法則

What would you say when you are under work pressure, "stressed out and frantic1" or "challenged and energized"? There's very little physiological2 difference between the two, says a growing contingent3 of experts who claim work stress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you down. In most eases, you can choose. The following are 8 ways to perform better under pressure suggested by the experts

1. Give stress a good name 積極地看待壓力

Why resent work stress- it's an indicator4 that your career is advancing. Think of a heavy work load as an exciting opportunity to push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle5. Complaining depletes6 (耗盡) your energy; instead greet overloaded7 day with optimism. Tell yourself, "This is a challenge I am capable of handling."

2. Put it in perspective 三思而後行

Sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positive side of stress-say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work-but you can moderate your reaction. Rate your distress8 on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being mild irritation9 and 10 extreme panic or anger. Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 (a notice) to 10 (you're fired). If your distress ranks higher than the seriousness of the situation, ask yourself: Is this something I will remember in four years, four months, four days? Then downshift your response accordingly, saving your emotional energy for disasters.

3. Alternate tasks 調節工作節奏

Blocking out an entire day or week for a high-priority project increases your anxiety without boosting your productivity-in fact; you may lose perspective and focus. You need to create a rhythm to your work to recharge. Every 60 to 90 minutes, take a break from your primary activity and do something different for 15 minutes. If you've been reading at your desk, walk into someone's office to brainstorm10 on another project. Don't worry about breaking your concentration. You'll return to your task refreshed and determined11.

4. Shake a leg 適當運動

Regular exercise is critical to stress management, and mini workouts during the day can release pent-up energy. Most people tend to neglect some exercise which you can actually do everyday, such as walk to your or someone's office instead of taking the elevator; stand up and stretch your back and neck muscles while you are on the phone, and so on.

5. Straighten up your desk 整理辦公桌

Rearranging pencils may not be a form of procrastination12 (拖延,耽擱) after all. It has been proved that tiding your desk is one of the most common, and effective, ways workers calm and focus themselves. Organizing helps people reduce tension and get into a productive frame of mind.

6. Refuel 注意補充能量

Tempted13 to skip meals and pull late nights when you feel the heat at work? Both could lead to burnout. Get stick to eight hours of sleep, and go to bed at the same hour every night. Avoid big meals but much high-carbon, low-fat snacks every few hours. Lay off the alcohol, which can disturb your sleep patterns.

7. Tackle your fears 解決讓你恐懼的問題

Pressure doesn't paralyze you, fear does. Often, your stress comes from worrying rather than from the work assignment or problem you're grappling with. Itemize every element of a project that has you scared. Are you worried about a presentation because you've never spoken in front of a group of people, you don't know what to wear and the slide projector14 isn't working correctly? Write down these fears and methodically address each one.

8. Spend time with your friends 多和朋友交流

During high-pressure periods, don't lock yourself in a room with your work. Socializing with friends and colleagues, getting together with people who make you laugh and change your perspective, will revitalize and inspire you. You want positive social support, so offer your friends progress reports and ask them for feedback, solution and encouragement
