Walk into the place of the interview, and breathe in a sense of personal power.<\/p>\n<p>If you have some waiting time before you go in for the actual interview, be conscious of slowing your breath.<\/p>\n<h2>Relax.<\/h2>\n<p>Remind yourself of who you really are.<\/p>\n<p>Think about things that bring you a sense of personal pride.<\/p>\n<p>Contemplate something you like about yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Smile.<\/p>\n<p>While it may not wipe out all the pre-interview jitters, actions such as these can go a long way toward putting you in a more desirable state of mind. You will carry that joy, empowerment and confidence in with you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered if you&#8217;re doing the work you&#8217;re truly meant to do, I&#8217;d like to invite you for a F.R.E.E.
