Mindset Preparing for the Interview

Preparing for an interview requires adopting a mindset of composure. This means finding a third place on a spectrum between posturing and collapse. Posturing is about being overly confident, while collapse is about being desperate and powerless. In the state of composure, one recognizes their own agency and power, as well as that of the interviewer. The focus is on having a conversation and determining if there is a fit between the candidate's experience and the problem or role the company needs to fill. The key is to approach the interview with a problem-solving mindset rather than seeking validation or approval. By adopting this mindset, one can vibe and be themselves, which is a more productive approach than worrying if they will be good enough or trying to act in a certain way to impress the interviewer.
