The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance
Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.
Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.
Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.
As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
