Write call many people in the we have talked about how scary and nerve wracking it can be when you go
in for an interview series.
So in this module we're going to present three hacks based on social science research that will help
you overcome the first half.
It's about the connection between your body language and your mental state.
There is a powerful one.
Professor Amy Cuddy from Harvard has shown that when you actually open your body language up by sticking
your chest out spreading your legs adopting poses kind of like the ones that you're seeing here on the
screen that your mental state has actually upgraded and you're more confident.
So when you're in the waiting room with these people hold yourself with one of these positive body language
positions it will really help your mental state be healthy when you go in to speak with them.
Second many modules in those courses have talked about the familiarity bias.
We tend to be scared of things that we don't know and put up barriers around ourselves.
So the hack here before you go into the interview imagine that you're going to meet with a good friend
or maybe some family members.
That way when you go in to speak with them you're going to be more natural and comfortable and it's
definitely going to help your interview.
Finally when you go into the interview try to find the interviewer's eye color because you know if you're
looking for their eye color then you're going to be making eye contact with them.
And that means you may it a shining first impression.
So in summary hold yourself in one of the strong power poses.
Imagine that these people are familiar so that you can be more natural and make eye contact.
And that way it's not going to be so scary in the interview series.
