Here is your Job Hunting Zen Thought of the Week!
Job interviews are stressful. You're being poked, prodded, asked questions about whoozit - not fun. It sometimes feels like you're being examined under a microscope.
Try to remind yourself you have more power in an interview than you think. You have the ability to:
- Walk away if anything about the job interview feels wrong.
- Make or break this manager's career if he/she decides to hire you (yes, interviewers are considering that).
- Make the interviewer look smart as heck for choosing to interview you.
- Negotiate your salary.
Not everything about job hunting is under the company's control. You hold a great deal of control, as well.
