1
If you hate job interviews because you feel like you're just performing instead of talking,
2
like you're putting on this version of yourself that isn't really you, I get it.
3
We all do it.
4
But here's the thing, that feeling isn't because you're bad at interviews, it's because no one ever taught you how to think about them.
5
I've spent over a decade recruiting at places like Google, Lyft, Uber, TikTok, and the New York Times.
6
But before I got into recruiting, I was on your side of the table.
7
I worked as an engineer, I worked in finance, and I've sat in your chair and felt everything that you're feeling.
8
So when I tell you interviewing is a skill that you can learn, I'm not just saying that as a recruiter,
9
because I've lived it from both sides.
10
And what I can tell you is this, when you see someone walk into an interview calm and confident, they're not built any differently than you.
11
They've just learned to think about it differently.
12
And that's a skill, which means you can learn it too.
13
So I'm gonna give you six reframes that change everything, not just for interviews, but for salary negotiations, promotions, all of it.
14
So let's get into it.
15
Reframe one, you can't subtract thoughts, only add.
16
You can't stop thinking, I'm gonna mess this up.
17
So stop trying.
18
Here's what happens to most people before they start an interview, they start spiraling.
19
They think, what if I forget what to say?
20
What if they ask something I don't know?
21
Or what if I sound stupid?
22
And then they try to push those thoughts away.
23
They tell themselves, stop thinking about it or just relax.
24
And it just ends up making everything worse.
25
And here's why.
26
You cannot subtract a thought.
27
The more you try not to think about something, the more you actually think about it.
28
It's like telling yourself not to picture a pink elephant.
29
What do you see? a pink elephant.
30
So instead of trying to remove the bad thoughts, you can add better ones so you can crowd out the bad thoughts with those good ones.
31
And the way that you do that is with preparation.
32
When you've practiced your answers out loud, not in your head, out loud, those words are going to take up space.
33
When you've researched the company, the role, the interviewer,
34
the information that information takes up space do mock interviews until your answers feel more automatic
35
so there's no room left for you thinking what if i mess this up and here's why this matters
36
i can always tell when someone is prepared versus
37
when they're just winging it the prepared candidate has answers
38
that flow they don't hesitate they don't ramble they sound like they've thought about this because they have.
39
And that tells me something about how they'll show up on the job.
40
If you prepare this well for an interview, you'll probably prepare this well for other things that matter too.
41
Reframe two, anxiety is energy.
42
That anxiety that you feel before an interview, that's not fear, that's fuel.
43
Your heart is racing, your stomach is tight, and your brain is running through every possible way
44
that this could go wrong and most people label that feeling as I'm nervous or I'm scared or I hate this.
45
But here's the thing.
46
Anxiety and excitement triggered the same adrenaline rush.
47
Your body can't tell the difference between I'm terrified and I'm pumped.
48
The only difference is the story you're telling yourself.
49
So the first step is to stop labeling it as panic.
50
When you feel that wave hate you.
51
Instead of saying, I'm so nervous, say, I have a lot of energy right now.
52
Because that's actually what's happening.
53
Your body is preparing you to perform.
54
Now here's where it gets nuanced.
55
You don't want to walk into an interview wired.
56
You want to be calm, grounded, and in control.
57
So while you don't want to panic about the adrenaline, you also don't need to hold on to all of it.
58
Fun fact, I used to take improv classes
59
and one of the first things
60
that they taught us was to quote never pee out the funny
61
which meant before you go on stage don't use the bathroom
62
that urgent feeling is adrenaline it's your body getting ready to perform
63
and in comedy that nervous energy actually makes you funnier
64
so you want to keep it but an interview isn't improv you don't need
65
that edge so if you're feeling nervous before an interview go to the bathroom.
66
Seriously, let some of that adrenaline go.
67
This is actually why recruiters ask if you like to use the bathroom before you start.
68
We want you as relaxed as possible.
69
So remember, reframe the anxiety so you're not spiraling, but release some of it so you're not wired.
70
You want just enough energy to be sharp and present, but not so much that you're vibrating out of your chair.
71
And here's why this matters.
72
I can tell within the first 30 seconds whether someone is controlled or scattered.
73
When you walk in radiating nervous energy, I'm not thinking, Oh, they're just anxious.
74
I'm thinking, is this how they're gonna show up when things get hard?
75
You wanna walk in calm and grounded, even if you're feeling the same thing internally because that's what looks ready.
76
Same feelings, different framing, different outcome.
77
Now, if you want me to help you with your resume, LinkedIn, or job interviews, check out the link below to learn more.
78
Reframe three, criticism is a chemical reaction.
79
People's judgment of you is just a chemical reaction happening in their head.
80
It's not a verdict on who you are.
81
And I know that sounds weird, but stay with me.
82
When you're sitting in an interview worrying about what they think of you, here's what's actually happening.
83
Some neurons are firing in a piece of meat on the other side of the table.
84
That's it.
85
Their opinion of you is literally just chemicals sloshing around in their brain.
86
It's not permanent.
87
It's not even really about you.
88
It's actually about their perception, their biases, their mood that day.
89
The good thing is that you have influence over that chemical reaction.
90
That's what interview skills actually are.
91
When you tell a compelling story that applies to the job, you're shifting their perception.
92
When you show enthusiasm, you're creating a favorable impression.
93
When you ask smart questions, you're shaping how they see you.
94
You're not just sitting there hoping to be judged well, you're actively influencing the outcome.
95
And here's why this matters.
96
The candidates who get offers aren't the ones waiting to see what the interviewer thinks.
97
They're the ones who walk in knowing they have influence.
98
They're not hoping for a good outcome, they're creating one.
99
Reframe 4.
100
Embarrassment can't hurt you.
101
You freeze because you're terrified of looking stupid.
102
But embarrassment has never actually hurt you, and it never will.
103
It feels like a big deal in the moment, but a month from now, you won't even remember what you stumbled over.
104
What's the worst that can happen in an interview?
105
You stumble over a word, you forget what you were going to say, you give an answer that doesn't land
106
or maybe you say um too many times
107
and then what you feel embarrassed your face gets hot you want to disappear
108
but then nothing nothing actually happens to you the embarrassment passes you're still alive you're still employable the interview ends
109
and you go home the anticipation of embarrassment is always worse than the actual embarrassment always
110
and the more you put yourself in situations where you might
111
be embarrassed like mock interviews networking events asking for things
112
that you might not get the less power it has over you
113
and here's why this matters i've seen candidates stumble recover
114
and still get the offer you're human it happens to all of us you know
115
which one i'd actually rather work with the one who can stumble and keep going because that's resilience.
116
That's someone I trust to handle pressure.
117
Reframe five.
118
Control the controllable.
119
You can't control if somebody likes you.
120
So stop trying.
121
This is where a lot of interview anxiety comes from.
122
Worrying about things that are completely outside of your control.
123
What if the interviewer is in a bad mood?
124
What if they already have an internal candidate?
125
What if they just don't like your vibe?
126
You can't do anything about any of that.
127
And worrying about it is just burning energy that you could be using somewhere else.
128
Here's what you can control.
129
How prepared you are.
130
What stories you have ready.
131
How you answer the questions you know that are coming up.
132
How you walk in, how you sit, how you compose yourself.
133
That's it.
134
That's what's in your hands.
135
And here's why this matters.
136
When candidates focus on what they can't control, they come across as nervous and scattered.
137
They're trying to read faces.
138
They're adjusting their answers mid -sentence based on whether the interviewer is nodding.
139
They're performing instead of communicating.
140
But when you focus on what you can control, like your preparation, your delivery, your energy, you come across as calm and confident.
141
Same person, same skills, different focus, different result.
142
Reframe six.
143
This is a skill, not a personality trait.
144
Hating interviews is not a personality trait.
145
And I hear people say this all the time.
146
I'm just not good at interviews.
147
I'm not a natural and I need you to hear me on this."
148
That is a story that you're telling yourself and it's costing you job offers.
149
Interviewing is a skill, like driving or cooking, like anything else you've learned in your life.
150
It feels awkward and uncomfortable at first, but then you learn or someone shows you how to master it and then you practice,
151
then it gets easier and eventually you don't even think about it anymore.
152
The people who are good at interviews aren't built any differently than you.
153
They've just practiced more.
154
They've done more reps, gotten more feedback, and failed more times than you have.
155
That's the only difference.
156
And here's why this matters.
157
I've interviewed hundreds of people, and the ones who get offers aren't the ones with the most talent or the best resumes.
158
They're the ones who treated interviewing like a skill to develop.
159
So if you hate interviews right now, that's fine.
160
That's where you're starting.
161
But you don't have to make it your identity.
162
Make it your project.
163
And once you learn it, you never have to hate interviews again.
164

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
