I have an interview in less than 10 minutes. What should I do? How to get rid of the butterflies in my stomach? If you're not confident enough during the interview, it might seem like you're not the right person for the job.

Don't worry, you still have 10 minutes, right? Make it count! Shake off your nervousness by doing these 5 tips. Relax and try to calm down. 

 

1. Take a deep breath and meditate

If practising interview questions is a normal advice you get, here's another kind of rehearsal that can prepare you. Try to do a mental rehearsal, because it can make you more comfortable and relaxed.

Just close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and allow your muscles to relax. Do a short meditation and you'll soon overflow with confidence and focus.

 

2. Listen to motivational songs 

If you're driving to the interview place or taking public transport, try to listen to motivational songs or something with a catchy beat. Sing along and let the music calm you down. Choose songs that can fill your heart with passion and connect you with your best self. Once you finish listening to the song, say out loud 'Let's do it!' 

 

3. Talk to yourself if it makes you calmer

It's not weird to talk to yourself, and actually, it's good for mental health. This is exactly what you should do before an interview to get in the right headspace. You guys should try pep talking to yourself to have a greater sense of perspective.

 

4. Watch funny videos

It's a fun thing to do and you should try it. Shake off the tension by watching funny videos. If you don't know what videos to watch, try funny animal videos such as cat videos. It will put you in a better mood and reduce stress.

 

5. Think of the worst that could happen

Well, this sounds so wrong before you head for an interview but it doesn't mean it's totally wrong to give it a try. Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen, then amplify it. When you think of the worst situation that could happen, you'll try to think of an exit plan and how to overcome it. So think about what you fear most. Couldn't answer the question? Forgot to shake the interviewer's hand? Play along with the scenario and come up with solutions.
