Music gets us pumping and crying, we have a certain song that we listen to when we feeling down and other songs we listen to when we super happy and other songs we just don’t remember hearing because we were so sloshed or whatever. Getting hired for a job is super important so is going into the interview with the right attitude towards your future employers. What gets you “in the mood” you ask?

Music of course, the right song can get you into the right mood, give you the necessary confidence or energy need to ace that interview.

Here’s a list of Top 10 Songs To Hype You Up Before You Ace That Interview:

10.Imagine Dragons- On Top Of The World

” ‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world.”

What better way to feel on top of the world but by playing a song that talks about being on top of the world. Build that confidence that’s needed to get you on top of things and chase those nerves away. Great song and great lyrics, sometimes it’s not just about the song but about what’s said in the song.

9. Aloe Blacc- The Man

“Stand up now and face the sun
Won’t hide my tail or turn and run
It’s time to do what must be done
Be a king when kingdom comes”

Cause you can tell everybody, I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man! Before or after the interview feel like the boss that will be interviewing you in 5 mins, calm yet confidence boosting.

8. AKA ft K.O- Run Jozi (Godly)

“Mfanakithi, can’t nobody handle this
I annihilated all my competition so there’s no further challenges.” 

Your only competition is the man in the mirror the more you tell yourself this the more you build confidence in yourself and become your biggest competition. Run your own race and don’t pay attention to what everyone else is doing.

7. Avicii- Levels

“Oh, sometimes
I get a good feeling, yeah
Get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah”

When you have that good feeling that gives you the strength to push a rock up a hill, you’ve got this mate!

6. LV and OkMalumKoolKat- Sebenza

“Siyasebenza, siyasebenza, siyasebenza only rest in December

24/7 365, 24/7 365″

As much as many would say this is a taxi rank jam, I agree I mean we do the taxi driver dance to it don’t we? But I love this song regardless play it almost everyday when I step into the office, once you ace that interview you’ll be hustling 24/7 365!! Only rest in December my guy.

5. Candi Stanton (Chris Sen & Euphonik)- Hallelujah Anyway

Praise him till your blessings come down
Praise him till your situation turns around”

4. Katy Perry- Roar

“I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar”

Bring the champion out of you. This is a power hungry song but more driven than hungry that is. Don’t rest be like a Lion protecting his pride or fighting for something you really want.

3. Major League DJz- The Bizness

“Me about our bizness don’t fuck with me, fuck with me
Me about our bizness don’t fuck with me, fuck with me
Everybody going crazy (everybody going crazy)Every time I turn around they start stealing my style”

Cool song this is. Take care of your business and others will follow and want to be like you. Be serious yet approachable about what you’re doing. Know your story and what business you are there about.

2. Macklemore- Can’t Hold Us

“Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night, we’ll fight ’til it’s over
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us
Like the ceiling can’t hold us”

Once again the only person that’s holding you back from acing that interview is yourself. Go flourish and be great, sell yourself but don’t over sell the idea of you. Sometimes when you over sell things they seem too good to be true.

1. Reason ft Tumi, Ginger Trill, L-Tido & Moneoa- No Sleep

“Money’s awake so we don’t sleep!”

Perfect hustle song, describes almost everyone’s situation. Besides a great beat and rhymes being on point, these people don’t sleep work hard until you achieve what you want for yourself. Work now, sleep later.
