How to feel confident in a job interview

You’re in the room for a reason!!! 😉

Remember this…

You’re in the room for a reason

• The fact that you have an interview means they already think you could do the job.
• Now it’s time for you to find out if you want to work with them too.

What is mindset?

• Mindset is the attitude, frame of mind and the way you respond to what happens around you. A fixed mindset person reacts, a growth mindset person responds

Upgrade your mindset

• By changing the words that out of your mouth, you change your mindset, mood and results.
• Use “and”, “if” and “but” to change your mindset from fixed to growth.

No matter what’s happen to you, your value is the same. Excellent quote!

Exercise:

• Fixed: I’m not really good making new friends.

• Growth: I might not be really good at making new friends, but I’m gonna start hanging out more and texting more people.

• Fixed: I hate studying theory.

• Growth: I don’t like studying theory, but the more I learn, the more I’ll earn.

• Fixed: I don’t enjoy working with a teammate.

• Growth: I might feel uncomfortable with my teammate, but if he can help me to do my taks quicker, then I must see him as someone who is supporting me.

My exercise:

Fixed: I don’t have enough experience to work as a Media Buyer in that kind of job, I will be rejected.

Growth: I probably don’t have enough experience to work as a Media Buyer, but if I manage to finish platzi’s advertising school and share my skills and projects, I will have more chances to get hired.

Fixed: My English is not very fluent, I will be turned down for some jobs and projects.

Growth: My English may not be the best, but if I practice daily, and do some exercises on the internet, I will improve and become more confident.

Qué gran lección eso de darle la vuelta al mindset a través del propio vocabulario. a poner más atención a lo que pensamos y decimos de nosotros mismos y de cómo abordamos las distitas situaciones que senos presentan en el día a día. Gracias profe.

All rigth

• It’s important to have a growth mindset.

Until now I was de kind of person who said “Im not good enough for this job, they are going to choose someone better than me”, and that’s how I ruined all my interviews. Now I hope to improve that attitude by changing my mindset

Fixed: I do not meet all the requirements for this position.
Growth: If I prepare myself and study every day I can fulfill the responsibilities of the position.

No matter what happens to you (in life), your value stays the same --> such a powerful phrase, LOVE IT!!!

No matter whats happen, your value does not decrease.

• I think I’m going to like this job and I want to learn more about it in order to grow professionally. (growth mindset)

I had an interview two days ago, and it was my best performance in all my life. I’ve been thinking in that interview for months, I practiced my speech a lot and when the day came it was a fantastic spoke with the other persona.
I am waiting to the second interview right now.

Fixed. I find it a bit difficult to organize myself at work
Growth: I have shown that the more I organize myself in my work, the better results I obtain.

Growth: I believe that having the opportunity to start a new job is a great privilege and I am willing to do my best.
Fixed: I don’t like one of my co-workers
Growth: I may feel uncomfortable with my co-worker, however I can’t help but acknowledge that he knows a lot of things that could make my job easier.

Exercise 9 💁🏾‍♀️

• Fixed: I can’t understand natives.
  Growth: I can understand big part of what English speakers say, and I’ll understand everything while practice with them.
• Fixed: I am shy 24/7.
  Growth: I just tend to be more an active listener, but I will talk to the team more frequently.
• Fixed: I won’t be able to finish the work before the deadline because I tend to be perfectionist.
  Growth: I like to make complete and functional work in a long time, but I know that I’ll be able to work as well as I always do while accomplishing the job requirements because I adapt myself to changes.

It’ all depends on the mindset we’ve got, so a problem might be seen not as a problem but as an opportunity
