Group interviews — in which you interview simultaneously with several other candidates — can take several forms.  Most often, though, they combine group interviews in front of a panel with group activities that replicate a team environment. Your potential employer may not want to give you too many details beforehand, but politely inquire with your contact so you can adapt your preparations. Even before the interview begins, start establishing connections with the other interviewees.  Introduce yourself, shake hands, and make sure you remember their names.  Resist the temptation to keep to yourself or treat the others as competitors or adversaries. Your interviewers want to see your interpersonal, teamwork, and leadership skills, so put them on display right from the start. Particularly during group activities — in which you might be broken up into smaller teams and given a problem to solve — step up and demonstrate your ability to be an effective leader.  That said, be the type of leader that suits your true self — if you’re not brash and vocal naturally, lead with more low-key persuasion and consensus-building. Think of good leadership as straddling a fence.  One side represents being too passive; the other, being too bossy. You need to seize every opportunity to stand out from the crowd — in a good way.  Make everything you say count.  Don’t simply agree with or reiterate someone else’s response to a question, even if it is how you would have responded.  Ideally, you’ll have a solid backup response ready due to your extensive preparation.  Otherwise, expand upon their answer, but take it in a distinctive direction. For instance:  “I really like what Jan just said about the importance of welcoming diverse opinions, but I also think a leader needs to …”

summary: Find out as much as possible about the process and criteria. Introduce yourself to the other candidates. Display your individual style of leadership. Highlight your individuality.

Rumination is the process of replaying painful or disappointing events in your head in a cycle that makes it difficult to counteract. Rumination cycles are often unproductive and negative in that they do not help to solve problems or move forward. Rumination takes your focus off problem solving. Consciously distracting your thinking to stop the cycle of rumination is one of the most common methods of avoiding it.  Research has also shown that those who ruminate and talk about their situations over and over often drive away friends and family who could have acted as a social support.  Mindfulness is the most common way of distracting yourself from ruminating. It involves turning your attention to your immediate surroundings, the sounds around you, or the sensations in your body. Negative experiences can often become echo chambers of feelings of fault or guilt. Reframing your experiences means looking at them from a different light. By reframing your thoughts, you can strengthen your senses of problem solving and confidence.  For instance, to reframe a poor mood after a hurtful situation, you can think about what you have learned about yourself and your relationship. As another example, if you are dealing with the uncomfortableness of embarrassment, you can try to find the humor in the situation and learn to laugh at yourself to feel better and move on. If you begin journaling or talking to trusted friends and loved ones regarding what’s affecting you, then look for patterns. Are you consistently writing or talking about the same issues? If so, what can you do to make changes at the root of the problem rather than simply venting the emotional impact of it on a regular basis?  This can also mean taking a stark look at your relationships to determine if a toxic relationship consistently brings you down. Toxic interpersonal relationships can be the chronic source of anxiety, depression, stress, and other negative emotions.  If the consistent source is related to your job, then what changes can you make to your work environment? If you can’t change your work environment to suit your mental well-being, then it may be time to consider a job change. Taking regular steps to improve and maintain your physical health also leads to an increased sense of mental well-being. Not only does exercise release endorphins to improve your mood, but it also gives you achievable goals to work toward with regard to your fitness. Joining a gym or a fitness group through another organization—such as your church or at work—also expands your support system. Feeling good about your contributions can go a long way to help with your self-worth and self-esteem. Try volunteering at a shelter, helping with a food drive, or finding another cause about which you’re passionate to donate some of your time. One of the harder and more important aspects of maintaining emotional well-being is to remember that difficult situations that lead to emotional turmoil are a normal part of life, that we learn and grow through these experiences, and that surmounting trouble can be a source of pride. Remember that you can overcome the source of your emotional distress and that how you deal with those emotions and move on without letting them interfere with your daily functioning is the important part. If despite your best efforts to feel better about your experiences you still feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, frustration, or depression, then consider making an appointment with a counselor or a therapist. A professional can help you increase your inventory of tools to deal with the situations affecting you. A professional can also recommend medications, support groups, or other resources that you might not otherwise be able to tap into.

summary: Distract your thinking if you ruminate. Work on reframing your experiences. Look for patterns in what negatively affects you. Work on your physical health. Donate time to a cause about which you’re passionate. Remind yourself to maintain perspective. Consider consulting a counselor or therapist.

Don't try to disinfect the case while it's still on your phone. The disinfectant could get inside your phone and damage it. If the phone case has multiple parts, separate them by pulling the inner piece out from the hard outer part of the case. Use rubbing alcohol that’s 70 percent or higher. If the rubbing alcohol you’re using is in a spray bottle, you can spray it directly onto the phone case instead of using a cloth. Wipe down both the plastic and silicon parts of your phone case. Make sure you wipe down the inside and the outside of the phone case with the rubbing alcohol. Try to get as much of the rubbing alcohol off as you can. The phone case should feel mostly dry to the touch when you’re finished. Set the case somewhere it can air dry for an hour. After an hour has passed, put your phone back in its case. Get in the habit of disinfecting your phone at least once a month so it stays clean.
summary: Take the phone case off of your phone. Soak part of a soft cloth in rubbing alcohol. Wipe the phone case down with the alcohol-soaked cloth. Wipe off the rubbing alcohol with a dry, soft cloth. Wait an hour before you put your phone back in the case.
