How to Manage Interview Nerves with Confidence | Aaron Wallis

How to Manage Interview Nerves In this video, Aaron Wallis shares practical, recruiter-led strategies to help you stay calm, confident, and composed during high-stakes interviews. You’ll learn how to: Control your physical response—use deep breathing techniques like “box breathing” (4-second inhale, hold, exhale, hold) to regulate your heartbeat and steady your nerves. Prepare mentally through rehearsal—practising under simulated conditions (with someone or on video) — conditions that prepare you for performance in real interviews. Reposition your nervous energy—reframe internal anxiety as excitement, and shift your focus from perfection to your broader goals. Use body language effectively—maintain open posture, steady eye contact, and composed gestures to project confidence and avoid distracting tics. Remove external stressors—arrive early, test tech in advance, and practice self-care by avoiding midday caffeine, getting rest, and planning logistics ahead of time. Why You Should Watch: Interview nerves are natural, but they don’t have to derail your performance. With intentional preparation and practical calming techniques, you can present as collected, resilient, and confident—even when the pressure’s on.
