Taking the Pressure off during the job interview...

There are several ways that job interview stress can be reduced and relieved.  First, operate from a position of power not a position of need.  If you are offering your skills, intelligence and experience instead of appearing that you want something, you can take the job interview from a position of strength.  How can this strategy reduce stress?

When sitting in the interview chair, you are offering your knowledge, personality and energy to the employer.  This is being done from a position of power not from a position of need.  This method of interview participation builds confidence within the person being interviewed.  Using this strategy can also help the job applicant to project a feeling confidence.

A good human resources specialist would prefer a confident appearing job applicant who has the skills to do the job.  This is much more preferable to an applicant who has the knowledge to do the job but does not appear confident.  The characteristic of confidence may be the extra 2% that helps the job applicant to get the job.
