Control nervous tics

But before leaving home to do the interview you should be aware of these tics to keep them under control, so you can show a more serene attitude to the interviewer.

Breath deeply

If you feel like your hands are sweating or your heart is beating too fast, your anxiety levels may be skyrocketing. Your thoughts go too fast and you may not feel quite right. In these cases, the best thing you can do is focus on your breathing, so you will be allowing your brain to concentrate and make decisions with confidence to answer well the questions that the interviewer may ask you.

Do not think things that are not

When you do not know the result of something and there is too much uncertainty, it is natural that you begin to imagine the result, either positive or negative, but recognizing these stories in your head that are not real (because nobody knows the future), you can help you understand how your head imagines things with great imagination. Better to focus on reality and regain your confidence. Accept the fact that you will never really know how the interview went, whether or not you get caught at the job sometimes has nothing to do with the interview (You may have done an excellent interview but there are too many candidates with a good profile).

    Hi, I'm Pedro. I have a micro understanding of work, I call it to say that, more than that it is also a passion.
    I opened an FM RADIO WITH A 24-hour ESCLUCIBLITY, of folk music »it is the only one in my city. marvelously, the radio audience is accepted by the people. all good i'm alone and unlike other radios that are usually a team. I have a lot of competition to offer an advertising service but I don't have a sales strategy I don't know what will happen I have a lot of insecurity in my lack of confidence, I feel ashamed, I am not blocked when they tell me since they have an agreement with other Radio stations so for now they don't want to do more advertisements. it discourages me a lot! How do i raise sales? I realized that to go out into the street business by business I have to be prepared, selling on the street is an Art I like a lot I know that for everything at least something Basque is studied to first know that I am layers.
