How to Calm Your Second Interview Jitters
Albany, OR - April 28, 2023
Congratulations, you made it to your second interview! Now
that the initial meeting and nerves have passed, you may be feeling a new wave
of interview jitters now that you have been invited back for another interview.
These feelings are completely normal, but it’s important that you don’t let
them take over completely! In this blog, we’ll take a look at four
recommendations a top recruitment
agency has provided to help you settle your second interview jitters.
Bring the
Same Amount of Energy
Your first interview was a chance to make the best first
impression possible, and now, it’s time to bring that same energy into round
two! Don’t let the stress of a second interview deter you from showing your
enthusiasm for the position you are applying for. Interviewers aren’t looking
for candidates that only bring their ‘A-game’ to the first interview, but
rather a candidate that continues to show their passion for the position.
Prepare for
Group Interviews
Some companies like to use the second interview to test your
skills and abilities in a group setting. A group interview is typically
conducted by having several candidates interview simultaneously for the same or
similar positions. To ensure you are prepared for this interview technique,
practice your speaking skills and incorporate body language when talking during
the interview.
Take Time to
Fully Prepare
When attending a second interview, you should come fully prepared,
having reviewed your first interview notes and bringing a new list of questions
that you may have. This is not the time to slack off! Interviewers want to see
that you have taken the time to prepare for your second interview, bringing the
same level of preparation, if not more, than your initial meeting.
Use Body
Language
It is important that you utilize body language that displays
your confidence and comfort in the interview room. Body language can be a dead
giveaway if you are nervous, and even though you may be, try to be mindful of
what your body language says about you during your meeting. You may even find
it helpful to practice implementing confident body language when preparing for
your second interview!
Bring confidence to your second interview and calm your
nerves by following these four tips. If you continue to bring energy, prepare
for group interviews, fully prepare, and use body language, you will be sure to
make another great impression on your interviewers! If you would like to prepare
further for your interview, locate your local employment
services in your area to receive professional advice. Good luck!
