Pre-Interview Playlist
People ask for the best tips on how to prepare for an interview. There are so many good approaches out there and I use a little bit of all of them. But, something that often surprises people is that I recommend having a pre-interview playlist that you dance around to for a few minutes prior to your interview. My ritual goes something like this:
Dance to 2-3 songs on the playlist.
Superman pose for a song.
Sit in my chair and meditate for 5 mins, visualizing the conversation being great and me representing myself so well that the person really sees me in the time we have together while also having my intuition so strong that I know in my whole body by the end of the conversation if this is the right place for me.
Obviously, there is a ton of prep that goes in before this moment even starts but my approach to that has never raised an eyebrow or made someone do a double take.
Here are a few songs from my pre-interview playlist:
Don’t I Make It Look Easy - Meghan Trainor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73rY-jfDxqc
I Am Here - P!nk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgOAA30TWBI
Rise Up - Andra Day - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwgr_IMeEgA
Brighter Days - Blessing Offor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6lp1Oxb9L4
What songs would you pick to pump you up and get your mind and body into a great space for an interview?
