  1. How to Overcome Your Anxiety before Your Job Interview Here are some tips to overcome job interview-related anxiety. Interview transcripts can be obtained from a digital transcription service. Finding the right personnel and hiring them into an organization is an art. Recruiting an employee is a strenuous task that takes time and effort. To pick the right employee, the HR department has to check, and cross refer the candidate’s resume and interview performance. For accurate interview transcripts, they can hire digital transcription services. Transcripts can be of great assistance to any HR person looking to address the dilemma of hiring the right person for the company. This helps the interviewer to have a better understanding of the candidates and appoint the right person. Just like the HR department, interviews are stressful for interviewees too. Interview anxiety can be an obstacle for those looking for work. There have been many incidents where the interviewee declined the job offer saying that she had taken up another job because she was too anxious to attend the final round interview. www.legaltranscriptionservice.com 918-221-7810

  2. The thought of meeting a stranger who is in an authoritative position, talking about yourself, being evaluated and judged based on your skills, ability and interview performance can trigger anxiety. A 2016studyby Harris Interactive and Everest College found that 92 percent of American adults are anxious about job interviews. So, to control your anxiety here are some simple tips: • Prepare yourself: Whether you are going for an assistant post interview or a manager post interview, there are some obvious questions that you have to face like why you want this job, or what are your strengths and weaknesses etc. So, practice in front of a mirror or with a friend to answer these questions with confidence. Do a research of the company you are interviewing for and then practice your responses. • Cognitive reframing of employees: Once you have decided what to say, it is time to quell the doubting voice in your head. Cognitive reframing is the practice of shifting your mindset to be more reflective and less emotional. This may sound a little complicated but researches show that your brain can be easily tricked. In his book The Chimp Paradox, Dr. Steve Peters explains, “The word should implies a standard or expectation. If you fail to reach that expectation then you have failed in your own world … should is typically associated with such feelings as failure, blame, guilt, threat and inadequacy … could does not evoke feelings of failure or set standards. Instead it is associated with feelings of opportunity, choice, possibility and hope.” Based on your past interview experience you can update yourself and nail the next interview. Cognitive reframing can also create a negative feeling that increases your anxiety. Thinking about one of your bad interview experiences, your anxiety level can increase. For example, you may think “I’ll just freeze up in the interview so I might as well not even try.” But this thought can be transformed to “I have practiced my responses and I know that I can remember them if I remain calm in the interview.” • Relax: Relaxing a night before the interview and getting proper sleep is essential. It helps your mind and body to be fresh and also enables you to think straight. Listening to music is also a stress buster that will help you relax. Stressing too much about the interview makes your body forget to breathe and it can lead to poor interview performance. • Don’t succumb to pressure: Sometimes you may have a past about someone who grilled you to see how you will handle stress and facing an interview again may spiral up things into negative automatic thinking. In such a situation, think that there have been many candidates who were treated the same way and that is not a reflection of yourself or your capabilities. www.legaltranscriptionservice.com 918-221-7810

  3. Interviews are a key part of the hiring process. Earlier, job interviews were mostly face- to-face ones. But today with advanced technology, interviews are conducted over phone or video. No matter how the interview is conducted, these interviews can be transcribed with the help of professional transcription services for a clear understanding of how the candidates performed and which one to choose. www.legaltranscriptionservice.com 918-221-7810
