The job interview process is generally a stressful experience for most people, but this stress can be controlled, potentially heightening our performance levels if we place ourselves in a position to succeed. This postion (the ends) can be achieved from preparation, confidence, and the channeling of both these characteristics (the means) through a well conceived communications strategy. One of the most predictable, yet often difficult questions to answer relates to our former place of employment. This aspect of our job history can trouble us because we’re not sure how we were or are perceived by ”old bosses” and we tend to overanalyze the interviewee’s intentions in assessing our attitude towards our professional past.

In this short video clip, an interview expert takes a direct approach to handling this type of questioning. She offers some practical advice that we can all keep in mind to remain calm and focused. The interview process will never be easy, but there are techniques we can practice to reduce our anxiety and make a lasting impression.
