Feeling Anxious

@Onethousandmoons

I always get like this too. The college I went to did not prepare me for my career choice, however their career service was amazing. I have a large packet of interview questions and explanations on how to answer them. They used this to prepare students for interviews by doing mock interviews. My advice is to compile a long list of common questions and challenging ones too. Keep a notebook where you can write down your answers and review them. Research and best answers for the interview questions and maybe find someone to do a mock interview with you a few times. I hate interviews, but I managed to nail the last one becuase they asked all questions that I prepared for. I still get anxious and mess up sometimes, but the more you practice, the better you get.

Thank you both for your replies! Even though I didn't see them until it was too late, I actually did both the things you recommended and they did help me

It was just for a basic part-time job so it wasn't a major thing. And I did get the job! (Not the position I applied for, but still)

Here's a small tip to add to what everyone else is saying: before the meeting, assume positions that exude confidence (hands behind heads, arms spread, etc.) even while just preparing for the interview. This will reduce cortisol levels in the brain. Cortisol is the brain chemical responsible for stress and anxiety, so decreasing this by cimply assuming confident posture will make a huge difference. Good luck!
