Time is never enough for many of us. There so many things to do with such little time. Having all kinds if deadlines coming up, like projects and clients meeting. The worse of all is having a client of yours not paying on time? Stress is always closing on us. Stress will affect not only the way we work. But also the way we handle situation, also the way we deal in business. No body in this world can live without stress. Do you think that millionaires don’t have stress? If your answer is no, then probably you maybe wrong. Even today’s millionaires face the same problem in all this kind of financial meltdown.

So if we cannot remove stress away from ourselves. But we do can do some things to reduce the stress to make one self happier and more proactive.

Having Toy on the table

For me, I always keep some light toys on my working table. Not those kind of stuff toys I mean. Those kinds of brainteaser toys, Like magic cube or rubic cubes. Whenever am thinking of something that my mind cannot get through with. It’s always helpful. It actually helps you work better with your brainpower. Though playing on the table is not always allowed during wok time. But this method does help reduce a lot of stress. Cause it gives physical and mental work at the same time.

Stress release method on paper

To reduced stress in office whenever am always frustrated. I always take a piece of paper. Take a pen. And start scribbling about it. Draw on it. If I want scold some body or curse somebody. I will write it on the paper and later crumble it and in the dustbin it goes. Lighting up a smoke or drinking coffee will only increase the anxiety of the emotion within. Which is not really a good idea to release the stress with each self.

Always handle the most stressful problem first

A lot for people always leave the most stressful stuff to be solved the last. For me,  No way. It’s always better to handle the most stressful problems first. Cause once its done. The stress over yourself will only reduced as the less stressful problems is easier to solved.

Walk about

Having doing some light excise is always good in the stressful situation. Take a couple of minutes to breathe deep. Take a fresh air and a nice tea will help freshen up your emotions and your brain.  When we say about relaxing. I mean to think of good things like pleasant thoughts and not about the problems.

Vitamin C

There is actual static’s that vitamins C proofs to be able to reduced a lot of stress. Hormones. Having an orange juice or taking an orange greatly does help reduce stress. May it not be the orange itself. But having vitamins C also helps. Like tomatoes, strawberries etc.

Never do multi-tasking work

Multi tasking work increases a lot of stress to the brainpower of oneself.  I have never encouraged multitasking work to be allowed in office or home.

Relax time

Spare some time to relax between work and family and friends. Going to a pub to relax and sing a song. Singing helps to breathe better and more deeply. Or go for a cold shower. Which will bring down your body heat. This remove stress the best way.

Watching a good movie

When you are always at home. Never bring work home. Stress is already more then enough in your life. If you bring work home then it will never end. Rather, you should watch a good movie. Like comedy or funny movie. When you laugh. You will tend to forget and your lungs will breathe deeper.

How to prepare yourself well for interviews

  Preparation for your interviews is an important process that many job seekers over look.

It’s a self respect discipline requirement that takes a lot time

  Not too often, actually the most difficult part is likely to be getting the job for an interview granted. So this part of the interview of how to bring yourself up and right most will be very important.

Always do your homework

  Always remember that if you have an interview date and set, you will by now know the company name. Do your homework by finding out about the company that you send the resume to. Always find out as much as possible the job and position you are applying for.

  How to find information and do homework? Hello, information is what we are talking about. Now in century of 2000. Information is everywhere like business directory and biz file or websites. Company profiles can also be found in the company annual report. There is a saying: know your enemy well for the battle. If you don’t prepare yourself well then you a ready lost half the battle even going to the battlefield.

Dressing smart and Attire

  Always plan ahead what you are going to wear for the interview. Make sure your clothes are clean, fresh and well ironed. Always take a reference to people who work as professionals, Look at the way they dress and the way they carry themselves.

Wearing a suit is not necessary unless you are going for an upper management appointment. Just a normal simple tie and well ironed long sleeve shirt with dark pants will bring you well enough. As for women, dress well with the dress code of closed to man’s style will do too. There is a part where a lot did not take note of. Your hair style. Make sure is properly combed or brushed, with a nice perfume not those you go for party man. Just a light fragrance and some light make up for women will bring your look out standing.

Preparing your documents

Make sure you place all your most important documents etc for the interview in a good quality folder. So as not to mess up your documents. Remember not to just go for an interview with your documents roll up and certificates all crumpled. Always carry your documents in a nice way. Carrying a file will not kill you. A much better way will be a brief case. But it’s a live without thing. If you have, used it. If not, just a big nice envelope will do either.

Prepare yourself mentally

 Spend some time doing your own review of your achievements and what you have learn or been praise so far.  You will not lost the battle unless you are not well prepared. Since they a ready ask you for the interview. Means that you have a ready won half the battle. The other half will depends on how you are going to win it.

Never be late for interviews

  The most important part of this lesson here. Never be late for interviews. Even a minute late is still late. If you do not know the address well enough. Leave your home earlier. Or rather like me I will always find my way there one day earlier so I will be able to locate my timing. Always allow timing for traffics conditions for traveling. Minimum reach your place of interview about 20mins earlier. Remember to bring a long a sweet in your bag. This is my personal preference.

Cheers
