CBS Detroit Tips Nov. 15 – Keeping Your Cool in an Interview

In a job interview, you may have to address a question you don't love or find yourself less than comfortable with the interview atmosphere. Learn to make the best of it and shine anyway.

* Practice Fidget Management -- We all have nervous habits. If you focus too much on eradicating them totally, you might just lose your cool. So teach yourself to channel them into less visible habits instead. See if you can stop your nail biting by allowing yourself to unobtrusively tap your toe, for example.

* Be Courteous -- Practice gracious ways to talk about past employers and colleagues even if you didn't get along with them. An interviewer may ask about how you have handled conflict in the past. Use this opportunity to impress an employer with your people skills -- not to send up red flags that you cause conflict.

* Answer Honestly and Positively -- If an interviewer asks about a time you made poor decisions at work, honestly acknowledge a project that didn't go as well as you had hoped. Don't evade the question -- we all have shortcoming, and it's important to be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses. But focus on what you learned from the experience, not the mistake itself.
