Coping with Stressful Interviews

There are different interview techniques one can use during the actual interview. Here are a couple of them

Attention Aware Interview technique :

Limit the amount of talking you do. Interviewers have only a small attention time, to be specific there is only close to 80 seconds where you have the interviewers full attention after you start responding to your interview question

The downplay to this interview technique is :

As you initiate your reply to the interview question, you have your interviewers full attention. With the passing of time his attention is reducing rapidly. After 60 seconds, you have basically lost him/her. So train to deliver the answer in under 60 seconds. Delivering your highlight after 60 seconds will not necessarily reach the interviewer’s head! If you are not convinced by the level of detail you have presented. Ask: “Would you wish me to expand more on this?”

Ask Questions Interview Technique:

Absorb the interviewer by asking questions. Asking questions improves your relations with the interviewer, and you will be more easily recollected after the interview. Interviewers are impressed by the interest you show in the post, sometimes even more than the selling points you have shown. If you can manage to get your interviewer talking about themselves, you are doing well!
