Get rid of interview nerves with these 4 tips 💡

Hey Zesties 🍋,

Do you have a big interview coming up? Here are 4 tricks that I personally use to calm myself and get rid of the nerves.

Tip 1: Be Social Before The Interview 👯‍♀️

What does this mean? It means that on the day of the interview itself, try to interact with as many people as possible. It could be as simple as talking to your favourite drink stall auntie, to talk to your parents or even the other candidates at the location. This trick has personally helped me take my mind of the interview and get rid of the feeling of 'impending' doom. Also, by the time you enter the interview, you'll be in a more talkative mood.

Tip 2: Don't Drink Coffee 🙅🏻‍♀️☕️

I used to always drink coffee before interview to make sure im alert. However, I also realised that it made my anxiety worse. Rather than rely on coffee, I now drink some green tea or ginger tea. Green tea has lower caffine and contains L-theanine that helps reduce anxiety. Anything ginseng helps improve energy and reduce stress!

Tip 3: Suck On Some Candy! 🍬

If your anxiety gets bad enough that you feel nauseous, suck on some sour or mint candy. This helps you to stay in the moment and focus on the flavour of the candy, while swallowing to prevent nausea. An additional benefit is that you'll have fresh breath before the interview.

Tip 4: Wear Your Favourite Scent! 😉

Find your favourite fragrance that helps you stay calm or get in your boss mode. Some of my favourite scents to wear are YSL Libre EDT or Replica Flower Market. I find that certain fragrances help me focus and even stay calm.

I hope these tips helps you ace your next interview, all the best!! Believe in your worth and don't let your fears get the best of you :)) You can do it.

Zestin' Out,

Melly 🐣
