3 tips to
overcome shyness at the time of the interview
Job interviews are synonymous with stress and
pressure for many people. Overall, people just don't feel very comfortable when
they're being evaluated.
However, for the shy, this situation is even more
challenging. If the person is already shy by nature, can you imagine how they
feel when they know someone is watching them?
The first thing you need to get your head around is
that shyness is not a fault. Second, there are some things that can be done to
make the shy person feel a little more comfortable and confident at the time of
the interview, and that's exactly what we're going to talk about in today's
text.
The more confident you are in your abilities, the
less shy you will appear in the interview. And one of the best things you can
do to earn that confidence is to practice with a friend or family member. The
important thing is that someone is able to give you honest feedback.
On the internet, it is quite easy to find examples
of frequently asked questions in job interviews. Find
these questions and rehearse how to answer them until you start to feel
comfortable. It may seem strange, but this is what a shy person needs to feel
relaxed and not nervous at the time of the interview.
Be honest in
the interview
It is not necessary that you try to mask your
characteristics at the time of the interview, especially shyness. Trying to
come across as an extroverted person puts a lot of pressure on you, which
prevents things from flowing naturally.
Keep in mind that the interviewer is just a
professional looking to do their job of selecting the best candidate for the
job, and regardless of whether you are shy or not, you can be that person.
Pay
attention to body posture
Proper body posture will help you feel more
confident. In addition, she will also ensure that you make a good first
impression.
· Speak firmly.
· Sit with an upright posture, without slouching or
hiding in the chair.
· Do not stand idly by. Move your hands, but
without exaggeration.
