How to make a negative experience positive? |
had bad experience with interview earlier this week, now I have another interview next week, how do I not go into new interview thinking about how bad the last one was?? Don't think of it as a bad interview experience or a bad interview. Think of it as experience in being interviewed. Make everything you do a learning experience. Take what you feel went wrong with your previous interview and work on it. Take what you feel went ok with the interview and build on it. The worst thing you can do going into an interview is dwell on the negative. Go into your next one with an open mind and take control of the situation. If you control the interview it will show that you are not nervous, and that you are knowledgeable. Good Luck. Let it go! Different interviews different people. With an interview you have to chill and realize it's your time on the stage...Enjoy the time you can't make them like you so don't stress about it. This ones a totally different interview so treat it that way....Also when I do interviews I always ask about the person and how long they have worked there. Where have they worked before...get friendly and also and always ask about the company. Good Luck.! First of all, every interview is a human interaction, and all humans are different. So you didn't feel good about the last experience. Learn from it. Go in prepared, with knowledge about the company and job. Prepare good questions yourself; after all, you are actually interviewing each other for a potential good fit. The interviewer will be impressed at good questions, it shows interest and initiative. Follow up the interview with a Thank you note a couple of days later...even to the bad interviews. You never know when a "good fit" for you might come up at that company in the future. Used to work in HR. write down what went wrong, and how you would have done it differently and lead with that. bad interviews happen to everyone and it seems like you need to have some bad ones before you can have good ones. was it a specific question that went bad or was it the general feel? you are not doomed. good luck! You have to learn from your bad experience. Look at something you did or did not do that resulted in the bad experience. Then change it. As you go forward concentrate on what you learned and how you fixed/resolved/changed it. Even if your bad experience wasn't your fault, if you can take something away from it and learn from it, you have the opportunity to turn a negative into a positive. |
