Hello and welcome to this meditation that will help you land your dream job.
My name is Juana and I am honored to guide you.
Begin by finding yourself a comfortable chair to sit on.
If you will be doing this interview virtually and in front of your computer,
Go ahead and actually set up your space as if you were logging in for your actual interview.
If you will be doing your interview in person,
Pick a chair that will allow for a straight spine.
Once you've found your spot,
Sit up tall and proud.
Shoulders relaxed,
Jaw softened,
Hands resting gently and confidently on your lap.
Close your eyes and focus on your breath.
Don't try and adjust it in any way.
Simply notice every inhale and exhale,
Paying close attention to the rise and fall of your chest.
Now start to breathe in for a count of three,
Holding your breath at the top for a count of three,
And exhale for,
You guessed it,
A count of three.
So inhale,
One,
Two,
Three,
Hold,
One,
Two,
Three,
Exhale,
One,
Two,
Three.
Again,
Breathe in,
One,
Two,
Three,
Hold,
One,
Two,
Three.
Breathe out,
One,
Two,
Three.
Continue on your own.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Feel yourself getting calmer and more relaxed with every breath cycle.
Breathe relaxation in and breathe tension out.
As you continue breathing easily,
This time at a pace that is most comfortable to you,
I want you to bring in mind at least three things you have accomplished that you are proud of,
Whether in your personal or professional life.
This could be anything from that university degree you obtained,
That course you completed,
Even that sport or musical instrument you learned to play.
The point of this exercise is not so much what it is you accomplished,
But rather the feeling of accomplishment itself.
Focus on that boost of self-confidence it gave you.
Really dive into that feeling.
Embody it.
Let's bring that feeling of confidence into this next visualization.
Go ahead and imagine yourself in front of your interviewers.
See them seated right in front of you,
Whether over a call or in person.
Instead of feeling anxious,
Doubtful or worried,
You feel confident and present,
Standing tall and proud.
You've arrived on time and your interviewers are very kind and friendly to you.
See yourself focused and calm,
Answering each question they ask you with ease and flow.
Repeat these affirmations silently to yourself.
I am confident and proud.
I believe in myself and my abilities.
I am the right person for this role.
Feel into those words fully.
Even if you may think that you don't have the exact skills your interviewer is looking for,
Don't worry,
Most candidates don't.
What you do have is the willingness and drive to grow into your role and that is what most employers are looking for.
And they can see this very quality in you.
So just silently assure yourself by repeating the following.
I am always learning and growing.
I can adapt to any role.
I have what it takes to excel in this position.
Feel into those words fully.
Envision yourself answering all of their questions clearly and passionately.
Feel proud of yourself for an interview very well done.
See your future employers smiling and thanking you for your time.
They are clearly very impressed with you.
Fast forward and imagine yourself now receiving that long-awaited call or email to congratulate you and inform you that you have received the job.
Feel that excitement swell up inside of you.
Take a moment to celebrate this huge accomplishment.
Next,
Visualize yourself actually having this job.
What does it look like?
What does it feel like?
Step into the feeling place of what it would be like to have exactly the role you desire.
If you can feel it,
You can achieve it.
Remember and recall this feeling that you have cultivated within you when you do go in for your interview.
It's now time to transition out of this visualization.
So when you are ready,
Begin to become aware of where your body meets the ground.
Wiggle your fingers,
Then your toes and slowly open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me.
Be sure to dive into this meditation several times before you go in for your interview so that you can be fully prepared.
And remember,
Even if you don't end up getting the exact job you thought you wanted,
An even better one is just around the corner and this meditation is helping you to attract it.
Do let me know what job it is you are trying to call in so I can send positive thoughts your way.
I wish you all the best on your big day.
You got this.
It's been an honor visualizing with you.
