How Job Interview Affirmations Can Help
Job interviews can bring a lot of pressure into one conversation. Affirmations give you a few encouraging words to return to when you need to settle your nerves, focus your thoughts, or remember the experience and skills you’re bringing with you.

A Bedtime Ritual Before Your Job Interview
The night before an interview, it can be tempting to rehearse every possible question one more time. Instead, set out anything you need for the morning, choose one job interview affirmation, and give yourself permission to be finished preparing for the day.
Once you’re in bed, repeat your affirmation slowly. Picture yourself walking out of the interview feeling proud of how you showed up. You listened, took your time, and shared your experience in your own way.
You have prepared enough for tonight. Sleep will give your mind and body the rest they need before tomorrow’s conversation.
If interview thoughts are still circling, our guide for overthinking at night can help you quiet your mind and settle into sleep.
