Prayer For Job Interview Success - Pray This Before You're Interviewed

A prayer for a job interview is as important as any other prayer we pray to God about. God wants to be a part of our employment too so it's important for us to include Him even when we're getting interviewed.

Whether it's for a part-time position, or even it it's a full-time job, we should pray for God's help during the entire hiring process.

We need His favour, anointing, direction, and help. We can trust Him to show us the path to take and the right job to accept.

Direction from the Lord in our jobs is something we should be praying for daily. His discernment is so important in every little detail and we should look inside for His help.

The very first step to any job is of course allowing the employer to talk with you. The interview prayers on this page are here to help you tap into God's power when you need it most.

A Powerful Prayer For Your Job Interview

“Dear God, I look to You as my Source of favour and strength. Thank You for this wonderful job opportunity that I have in my hand. I praise You for this chance to let my light shine. I pray that this interview is covered in Your anointing. I pray that Your peace permeates my entire being. Please help this interview to go smoothly without any unnecessary interruptions. I ask that what I have to offer would be made clear and that I would be head and shoulders above the other applicants if it's Your will I work with this company. I trust You to provide all that I need to get this position. You know what is best for me and I rest in Your faithfulness to provide the right job. Amen."

What Does The Bible Say About Work?

The Bible is filled with scriptures about being faithful and hard workers. The key is to be sure we are doing what we do for the glory and honour of God (Colossians 3:23). We should be working for God as opposed to working for people. We should be faithful and trustworthy to our employers, rather than complaining (Philippians 2:14-15).

The Word of God also balances out hard work with resting. We should take time every week to rest and recover from the work we do at our jobs. It may seem challenging to do so these days but again, ask God to help you keep your life balanced.

Tips for a Successful Workplace Interview

The truth is that job interviews can make anyone nervous. Regardless of how you are interviewed, whether in-person or online, there's a chance your nerves may act up.

Here are some tips for a successful interview.

1. Dress Right

This may seem like an obvious first tip but it is one that is often overlooked. Make sure you are free and clear of wrinkled clothing and your breathe smells good.

2. Know The Company

Make sure to do a bit of research about the company and the job position. You want to be able to at least generally grasp what they are looking for and what is required of you. This knowledge will help you craft your answers effectively.

3. Breathe

Taking a moment to deeply breathe several times helps oxygenate your blood. This helps calm you down and focus. Take at least 7 completely deep breathes before the interview begins.

4. Thank God

Take a moment to thank God before the interview begins. Even this moment of prayer can make all the difference as it'll help you remember you're not going into the interview alone.

The process of looking for a job opportunity and participating in a job interview is challenging. If you follow these tips it will give you the boost you need to have a successful meeting.

Remember, God always knows what is best for you. Trust in Him and let Him lead you to the right job at the right time.
