Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key wellness strategies & self-care (pre-interview “calm”)

  • Ground yourself before the interview: stay present rather than getting lost in worst-case thoughts.
  • Use calming routines/rituals: for example, a puja or small personal rituals to reduce anxiety.
  • Psychologically control what you focus on:
    • Avoid overthinking the company size, job title, or who the interviewer is.
    • Over-focusing on “big opportunity” or “status” can lower confidence.

Productivity / interview performance techniques

  • Treat the interview like a normal meeting Enter with the mindset you use in regular work sessions.

  • Practice speaking habits ahead of time

    • Talk more in general before interviews to build comfort with verbal expression (especially if you’re an introvert).
    • If you struggle to find words during interviews, it may be because you don’t speak much during the day.
  • Build confidence through repeated practice (and exposure)
    • Do one-on-one calls / interview practice sessions (the speaker mentions “Topmate sessions”).
    • This helps reduce fear of talking to strangers and improves delivery.
  • Work on speech pace, tone, and fluency
    • When nervous, people often speak faster—so practice to manage:
      • Pace
      • Tone
      • Fluency
  • Don’t reveal to yourself that you’re “about to interview”
    • Don’t think about the interview too early, so you don’t heighten anxiety.
  • Use professional, graceful answering
    • Answer confidently and in a structured way (e.g., a “one-piece turn”).
    • If you falter, the interviewer may probe further—aim to deliver each answer smoothly.
  • Mind body language
    • Interviewers assess “vibe” quickly (within seconds).
    • Focus on:
      • How you’re sitting
      • How you talk
      • Your tone
      • How calm/cool you appear

Mindset for rejection & long-term confidence

  • Rejections build confidence
    • Successful people often have high rejection counts.
  • Don’t let rejections (or success) go to your head
    • Keep learning and preparing rather than quitting after a few attempts.
  • Expect it to take time
    • “Cracking it” in early interviews isn’t guaranteed; improvement comes through iteration.
