What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Make sure you feel confident that no one can hear you. You want to be able to speak in a confident and full voice, if possible. Stand in front of a mirror, if you can find one in a place where you can be alone. Looking into a mirror will allow you to speak directly to yourself. Distance yourself from the stress and self-doubt you’re feeling about your interview by talking to yourself as you would a friend or family member. If you don’t feel comfortable addressing yourself by name, try to use the word “you” as opposed to “I” and “me.” Remind yourself that you are capable and well-prepared. Saying this aloud to yourself will help make it real in your mind. Whether you’re interviewing for a job or other position, remind yourself why you are a good candidate, and why choosing you would be a good decision for your interviewer and their organization. Remember to speak aloud, in as confident and strong a voice as you can conjure. List the things you’re proud of that you’ve done in the past, out loud. If there are any specific accomplishments that you are especially proud of, focus on those, telling yourself how well you did. Remind yourself that you are the same person who accomplished those things, and you’re just as capable now as you were during those times. Remind yourself that there will be other opportunities if you don’t get this one. Saying it out loud will help reaffirm this in your mind and give you a sense of perspective, as if someone else were saying it to you. It can also help to remind yourself that it’s okay to be nervous, and that most people experience stress before a job interview. Try saying “It’s only an interview, and it’s only nerves.” Repeat these phrases as many times as you need to in order to believe them. Remember to breathe deeply as you speak, and try to put as much strength and confidence behind your words as you can.
Find a quiet place where you can speak to yourself out loud. Address yourself by name, as if you were talking to someone else. Explain to yourself that you are prepared and qualified for the position. Remind yourself of past successes. Tell yourself that it is only an interview. Say “I will do well” and “I can do this” to yourself.
