How to control your nervousness in a job interview ?

Question

especially if the interviewer is trying to piss you off on purpose by denying your experience and your education ?

Answer 1

Well, I understand that someone's nature (either to be nervous or not to be nervous) how to act in a situation like an interview. I believe, unless you are well-trained or have had lots of practice, that it is difficult to change the way you do things like interview.

For me, when I interview, I just talk to people like a person I had just met at a restaurant or bar for the first time (sort of a friend-of-a-friend thing). Yes, you don't know them, but what is so different telling an interviewer vs. telling a new person you are meeting what you do or what you've experienced. It has worked for me. I have only ever been denied one or two positions in my 13 year career.

BUT, if they are denying your experience or your education, why should you care? If you have the confidence in what you've put on your resume, you should not be flustered at all. After all, it is the truth. You could even confront them on it and ask why they are questioning you...you have only put down what you have accomplished. Why would they have reason to question you unless you gave them reason to or didn't tell the truth? I would seriously analyze that one if I were you. I have never been questioned like that before so there must be a reason.

Best of luck!

Answer 2

Job interviews are a lot like first dates. You really want one and you're thrilled when you get one. But then you start worrying about every little detail, like what to wear, what to say, how to not act like an idiot.
Job interviews can be nerve-wracking experiences. But just like first dates, they can also be wonderful opportunities. If you are well prepared, confident, and do everything right, you'll make a winning impression and obtain your goal.

If they are denying your education and experience show them the papers,they cannot argue with the papers.

Answer 3

Take a deep breath before answering each question. This will help you to calm yourself and give you a moment to think about your answer before blurting something out. It also makes you look more confident and appear intelligent.

If you are still nervous turn it into a positive and tell the interviewer "how excited you are to have the opportunity to interview with them" or "how excited you are about working for them in the future."

You'll do fine....Good luck!
