A mistake I see with a lot of folks who read these Daily Success Boost emails and reply to me with their stories is that they treat rejection like it's "failure".
            
It's not.
            
Let me tell you what failure is:

I’ve heard a number of people ask, “How do I stand out in the job interview?”

Today, I want to share with you six powerful ways.

Be warned. These methods aren’t a free lunch. To be exceptional during the interview, you have to do extra preparation before your interview.

Here’s a great question from a Daily Success Boost reader:

My biggest challenge when it comes to handling interviews is trying to sound confident in answering some of the weird interview questions that the interviewer may ask.

I know my worth and what I can bring to the table, but I guess I'm not very good at bragging on myself, as I've always been taught to show humility in everything I do.

Before you put your gloves on and step into the ring, you need to accept that you will get punched in the face – many, many times – and it's going to hurt.

This may sound silly. Or maybe too basic. Yet, I know at times I still struggle with this. And it makes a big difference.

It can improve your confidence, your understanding of the job, and the relevance of your interview answers.

It can also foster trust in any job or personal relationship.

So -- last week, I asked you to share with me your experiences with job burnout, i.e. how it has affected you, and how you overcame it.

Here are some of the recurring themes I read in folks' stories:

Maybe you can relate to Nicholla's story -- especially if you've walked out of more interviews than you care to remember, feeling discouraged or crushed:

Let's talk about mindset.
            
Where a lot of candidates go wrong – and we're not just talking about job seekers, but also folks who want a promotion or who want to move into a new industry – they approach hiring managers with a "beggar" mentality.
            
Here's what I mean by this:

A lot of the people who have been pushing hard through the year so far are now starting to slow down for the summer.
        
They’ve worked hard for months, and now it’s “Miller time.”
        
That’s fine.
