Fenney explained the secret behind this proactive attitude as that the women would always do things like seek social support from loved ones like friends, family and colleagues about their anxiety and with their help and guidance they would do practical things like practicing on mock interviews in front of their friends.

On the other hand, when it came to men, they reacted with more maladaptive coping strategies and they would ignore practicing by watching TV and by doing other things that relieved their stress. This habit affected their poor performance during the interview.

Although, the findings of this research can help the interviewees, Feeney also suggests that the research may help the businesses which are planning to hire. Feeney has warned the businesses not to just simply look to the interview as the ultimate predictor of future success or failure. He suggests all the candidates to practice mock interviews as it can improve your self-efficiency.
