Taking control in a job interview can help you showcase your qualifications, make a strong impression, and steer the conversation in a direction that highlights your strengths, says Paul Bramson, CEO of the Paul Bramson Companies, which offers sales and leadership training programs.
Self-awareness is a powerful tool, Wiacek says. If you catch yourself talking too fast during an interview, rather than continuing on the path and rambling, it might be beneficial to pause and say, As you can tell from my energy level, I'm excited about potentially joining your team. But I've already talked quite a bit, and I want to hear from you. What other questions do you have for me?' That shows self-awareness and demonstrates command of thyself.'
Ensure as a candidate you control your breathing to allow time for slow and thoughtful responses, VanWieren suggests. This may seem trivial, but it does allow you to control the pace and speed of the interview itself to ensure you represent your best.
