Look for jobs that you like

Why do people who give advice on interviewing always make it sound so doom and gloom. We should all start to look at the process in a different way. Yes the interviewing process seems nerve wrecking at times, but that is why I always tell people to interview while you are employed. This way you are not feeling as much pressure to get a job and you are more comfortable in the process.


However, if you don't have a choice and you are unemployed and looking you've got to relax. I know you feel each interview is that job that will change your life. You may be right but if you don't get the job non of what you are feeling even matters. Relax the company likes something about you or they would not have contacted you for the interview. This is an accomplishment in itself. Do you know there were probably hundreds of people who did not get that call or email to come in. So relax.

If you are searching still try to look for jobs that you have a genuine interest in. If you do this you will take a real interest in the process you are taking. You will want to know more about the job, the company, etc. You will be excited about the process and the interviewers will see the enthusiasm in your face and actions during the process. They like that and who doesn't like to see or meet a person who is genuinely interested in their business.

If you feel you must interview for other positions that don't interest you because you just need money. That's OK too because any interviewing is great for polishing up your skill. The more you do it the more confident you will be when interviewing.
