Ok, it’s job interview day. It’s 9am, you’ve hardly slept, but your preparations for success are in full flow:
- Looking smart? Check.
- Copy of CV? Check.
- Printed out the directions? Check.
- Music? Hadn't thought of that.
For many of us, music plays a big part in helping us focus, sharpening the mind and giving us the edge to succeed. But what’s going to make the difference for you today?
If you’re struggling to decide between your Tina Turner and your Tiesto, don’t worry. We’ve created our playlist of ‘job interview success classics’… to help you avoid any embarrassing pre-interview iPod fumbling.
5. Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
A little obvious? Maybe. But if you’re not smiling by the time it reaches the guitar solo then going for a job interview may be the least of your worries.
4. Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
A classic. Helped Sylvester Stallone beat Mr. T, and it doesn’t get more inspirational than that. Especially apt if your interview involves climbing lots of stairs.
3. Sexy and I Know It – LMFAO
Advantages: upbeat; catchy; will make you feel good about yourself. Disadvantages: no-one likes an ego.
2. Fix Up, Look Sharp – Dizzee Rascal
Cracking advice and, let’s face it, Mr. Rascal doesn’t appear to be struggling for work since its release…
1. Reach for the Stars – S Club 7
Do we really need to explain this one?
Honourable mentions: Mr. Brightside (The Killers), Don’t Stop Believing (Journey), Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves), You’re the Best (Joe Esposito)
Songs to avoid: Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now (The Smiths), Creep (Radiohead), Everybody Hurts (R.E.M), anything by Justin Bieber.
