But one that is hard to overcome is mindset.When I'm coaching someone to get ready for a job interview, I often hear comments and concerns that show the mindset of the candidate. Things like:"I hope I have good answers to their questions""I hope they ask me about [fill in the blank]""I wonder what they're going to ask me."While it's important to think ahead and prepare for what may come your way in an interview, asking questions like these are not the most helpful way to prepare.Instead, it shows a mindset that you are actually planning to be reactive, rather than going in with a proactive plan. Hoping that you're asked the right questions and hoping that you have the right answers is not going to cut it. You need to first change your mindset to understand that interviews aren't about hoping. They're not about thinking you have no control. I dive into this in today's episode.
