Let's not beat around the bush here - some people get totally stressed out at the prospect of sitting an interview.

There are a number of techniques you can use to minimise this problem:

Identifying what part of the process bothers you.
Practising in mock and real interviews - this will de-sensitise you to the process of undergoing the third degree.
De-mystifying the selection process and learning to anticipate the likely questions they will ask you (based on the job requirements, your experience and your personal attributes).
Calming and visualisation routines help many candidates to unclutter the mind and focus their thoughts.
Keeping to an unvarying timetable in the days coming up to and on the day of every interview ("T minus 6 hours and counting ....")
Developing confidence and self esteem through coursework and professional memberships.

Fortify have helped candidates from all backgrounds and at all levels to overcome their difficulties with the interview process.

We can provide you with a tailored programme starting at the earliest stages of preparation and clearing every hurdle to the concluding handshake following your successful contract negotiation.
