Don't Work Hangry!

Don't Work Hangry!

INTERVIEW TIP OF THE MONTH
INTERVIEW TIP OF THE MONTH

Orbit, Stride and Interview Success

Researchers from St. Lawrence University found that gum chewing improves working memory, episodic memory and general information-processing speed. Chewing also gets blood flowing to the head and "wakes up" your brain, making it easier to focus.

  1. Chewing a stick before a big interview:
    • may help you remember key talking points
    • may reduce stress that could undermine your performance
    • definitely freshens your breath
  2. Just make sure you throw your gum away before meeting your interviewer!
