Career experts often offer helpful tips for reducing job interview anxiety. But you don't want to reduce job interview anxiety; you want to avoid it altogether. Before you say, "But that's impossible!" let's clarify: You don't actually have to eliminate the anxiety. You only have to avoid letting it show. Anxiety is a turn-off.

I'm startled by the sound of a door slamming against the wall behind it and the loud clatter of high heels before I see a professionally dressed woman stride into the room, stop in front of the speaker, bump him aside, turn, flip the corner of the huge projector screen over her shoulder so she can pour herself a cup of coffee, then exit as she entered — like a high-stepping parade horse.

The Washington Post Share
Q: You told me to network. I go to networking events and everyone is passing out business cards. I am unemployed and don't have one. What should I do? A: First of all, you are not unemployed. You are "between successes," and your full-time job right now is looking for your next opportunity. Having said that, there is no reason for you NOT to have a business card.
