How to be confident for interviews

[@Jacksonville5]

I really like your approach in these tips. It’s not all about leet code, rehearsing answers , etc… it’s also honestly a lot about being like-able. And likability does come from someone who is grounded, deep breaths, has things going on their world like books and exercising.

Congrats on your new gig! This is a great post for all job seekers.

Thank you, Jay!

[@Jacksonville5]

Awesome advice! Really agree on the breath control tip. I’m going to work on that

[@cws417]

Thank you for your advice and it is really helpful. Changing the mindset to prepare the interview really reduce so much stress of it.

Having been in combat and having seen the worst of humanity, I've reached the understanding that there are very few things in our first world lives that are really worth getting nervous (or angry, scared, discouraged, etc...) about. So for better or worse, I've never been nervous in any job interview. I barely even prepare for job interviews. Of course, I would never recommend my experience to anyone, as there are certainly side effects to achieving this mentality of "chuck it in the phuck-it bucket"

This is great! 😊 Thanks for sharing! Can you please share which AI tools you were referring to when you mentioned improving your speech and communication skills?

[@debbittencourt]

That's so helpful. I'm starting the process of job searching 💪🏼 Which AI tools did you use to improve your speaking when training?

[@Designalily]

I used a bunch! I think speeko is free on ios mobile

[@debbittencourt]

@@Designalily Thanks Lily!

If you flip the shoes as an employer, how you present yourself is much less important than how you design. If your design is 100% on point, you'll still land the job even with a crappy presentation. so I'd focus more on improving my design skills than my presentation skills, unless they hire you for public speaking.

Have you interviewed and worked in UX product design in SF/NY.

[@KaYungCalebLai]

@@Designalily plenty, almost all of my clients are either in SF or NY. 12 years of experience, had over 600 interviews and landed 103 gigs. so pretty much 1/6 close rate. 300~400k revenue annually. always enjoy your content tho :)
