As someone who does a lot of reframing like this, I’m really struggling to see how this would work at all. For me there would have to be a part of the process that I genuinely could spin as fun to trick my dopamine deprived brain into making the good chems because I don’t get that rush most get when they complete a task for it’s own sake. Anything fun about the job interview process is something incidentally involved, not part of the process itself. The stakes involved with needing a job to live make it even more difficult to downplay the importance of an interview.
Maybe I’m missing something with thus particular framework?

No amount of mental gymnastics is going to remove the financial pressure causing the anxiety. You can’t reframe your way out of needing to eat. I think the only way this advice can possibly work is if you’re already above the poverty line and not worried about paying the rent.
