Career Consultation by Kharkiv IT Cluster and Telesens: Navigating Stress Interviews with Confidence

A job interview is often not only a professional assessment but also an emotional stress test. Rapid heartbeat, scattered thoughts, losing the structure of an answer, difficulty focusing on simple questions — these are common reactions candidates face regardless of experience level.

Anxiety affects thinking speed, clarity of expression, and overall confidence during the conversation. At the same time, it is a natural response that can be managed with practical tools and clear response frameworks.

On February 23 at 17:00, the Kharkiv IT Cluster, together with Telesens, will hold a career consultation on the specifics of handling interviews in high-stress formats.

The speaker — Yuliia Pashchuk, Head of Recruiting and Talent Acquisition Division — will explain how interview anxiety manifests itself and how to manage it without losing the quality of your answers.

Agenda:

• Why do even well-prepared candidates lose focus during interviews?
• How to quickly stabilize your emotional state during a conversation.
• How to keep the answer structure under difficult questions;
• How to recognize stress-interview markers;
• How to respond appropriately to pressure and provocative question formats.

The session will focus on practical tools, real cases, and behavioral models that can be applied immediately.

The event will be useful for beginners and for anyone who wants to approach interviews with greater confidence and control.
