Nurses Career Support

Published

Hi all. I need some advice..

I had an interview at the VA today and I was just wondering how do you make yourself NOT nervous during interviews? I mean I had a nice nurse manager and all...but I always feel like I blow it during interviews...:o Anyone have any advice on how to stay calm during an interview? This is for future reference. Oh and this wasn't my first interview either...I don't know..any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys.

Just wanted to update you guys, I got the job! :) Thanks for all your wonderful advice. Much appreciated. :)

Man o man this site is awesome and it asks the questions everyone want to know the answers to.. Interviewing is tough and it a necessary evil. I have over the past 6 months interviewed at least 20 (I am not kidding either) 20 times and the only thing I can say is that each time you interview you DO get better at it. Always watch your body language, think first about the questions that are ased of you even if you take a minute to reply IT IS OKAY. I know this is corny but smile, it helps I swear it does and just accentuate the positive and play down the neg. If you haven't been working and someone asks you why you can always say you deicided to take some time off before looking again for the place that you may want to work. SOmething like that but again always be truthfult o a certain point and remember you are INTERVIEWING THEM AS THEY ARE YOU!
