If it is severe, then help from a clinical psychologist who can develop strategies to help you with your self-esteem, and anxiety might be the answer. However, to find\u00a0a clinical psychologist without a long wait list and is also affordable may be a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">For some people, another viable option is to turn to naturopathic doctors like Vivienne Guy, ND at Sunrise Wellness Centre. She offers treatments such as acupuncture or holistic supplements to help manage stress-related hormones. Both clinical psychology and naturopathic medicine are effective for dealing with work-related anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6448\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_34276919_s-2015-Man-at-Computer.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6448\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6448\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_34276919_s-2015-Man-at-Computer-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"man working late to prepare for interview\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_34276919_s-2015-Man-at-Computer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_34276919_s-2015-Man-at-Computer.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Take the Time You Need to Prepare for Your Job Interview<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Step 2 &#8211; Evaluate Your Lead-time and Prepare Accordingly\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Often, anxiety rears its ugly head when we feel unprepared &#8211; such as facing the unknown in an important job interview. And, frankly, who wouldn\u2019t worry a little while imagining this scenario:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Will the interviewer be reasonable and friendly?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Will they like me?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">What will they ask me and how will I respond?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">What if I choke on my words?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">With this kind of apprehension, it\u2019s difficult to put your best foot forward let alone win the actual position. However, studies have shown that time management and preparation are key when dealing with anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">One clear advantage of working with a naturopathic doctor is that their interventions can be very fast-acting. When you have a week\u2019s notice for an important work event, \u00a0acupuncture and\/or practice (rehearsal) is psychologically beneficial when trying to soothe your nerves.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u201cLet food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food\u201d\u00a0&#8211; Hippocrates\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_6446\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_11844929_s-Green-Tea.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6446\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6446\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_11844929_s-Green-Tea-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Green Tea When Nervous About Job Interview\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_11844929_s-Green-Tea-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Depositphotos_11844929_s-Green-Tea.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Consider Green Tea Instead of Coffee or Expresso<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Step 3 &#8211; Take Some Time to Assess Your Diet<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In addition to noting how severe your work anxiety is and managing your time effectively, another important approach is examining your diet. It is possible that some beverages and foods could affect\u00a0your performance and overall mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Caffeine can be great for revving up your body after a sleepless night, but it can also make your body mimic some symptoms of anxiety. These include noticeable sweating, shakiness, and upset stomach. Obviously, none of these symptoms has a desirable effect during a high stakes event such as meeting a potential new boss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">First and foremost get in tune with your body and how it responds to what you put in your mouth. Maybe you notice the espresso you just downed left your tummy gurgling and palms sweating? Instead of coffee on the day of your interview (and possibly also on the days leading up to the interview) try green tea instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">This is also true of alcohol. Many enjoy loosening a tie or taking those heels off after work with a glass of wine.\u00a0Often that drink can turn into two or three when a person is stressed or anxious. Even one drink can disturb concentration and sleep, so perhaps consider substituting it with a warm, relaxing bath or meditation instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Work-related anxiety is everywhere. Unfortunately, a lot of us suffer in silence. Even the mildest approach to change\u00a0can alter or decrease your worry and excessive stress. It can change your odds of a successful interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Want some help preparing for an upcoming job interview?<\/strong> Please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/contact-dr-helen-ofosu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact<\/a> me directly or via direct message on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drheleno_ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IOAdvisoryServices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenofosu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">More than career coaching, <em>it\u2019s career psychology<\/em>\u00ae.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I\/O Advisory Services<\/a> \u2013 Building Resilient Careers and Organizations.&#x2122;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Easily share this article using any of the social media icons below.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your nerves are getting the best of you during a job interview this blog post is for you.
