Awesome post. Thank you
Great advice. +1 I've noticed that if you are good with 4 and 5, then 7 comes pretty naturally.
Remembering to breathe is crucial. Especially for those who are just starting to interview, it is easy to talk a million miles an hour and hope that something you say sticks. A deep breath can help you slow down and collect yourself.
In for SB.
For #4 it can be tricky for a lot of people which aren't trained for it.
When they ask, 'how's everything going today' especially if its on Monday, I tend to reference something similar to:
"Still feeling good off a 2nd place finish this past week at a golf tournament." if I can sense they like golf or if I can sense they follow football I'll mention "Still trying to get over the loss the Cowboy's had this weekend" and also ask 'wbu'.
If they like the sport, or enjoy it, they'll get more into it and ask you about it.
Piece of cake.
When I read #2, my first thoughts were "OP's asking us to chew something for breath". On a similar note, DO chew something minty before the interview. If we are 'eating' something, our brain goes through the following thought process: "I would not be eating if I were in danger. So I must not be in danger". Really helps with the nervousness, not to mention that it'll also make your breath fresh!
Is there any way to still see this advice somehow? Just shows up to me as a link to the search page with the word advice searched
