Applying to Jobs

I've been thinking about trying to apply to a few places recently but I've not felt motivated to actually do it until now. Funnily enough now happens to be at 4 in the morning when I should be sleeping. But I know if I wait until the next day I might start to feel lazy about it so I guess I'm not sleeping tonight. Oh well, one missed night of sleep will be worth it if I manage to actually find something. The thing that stresses me out the most is the interview part, not necessarily the jobs themselves. Like I feel that if I just get past that part I'll be okay. My first and only interview didn't go very well but I also feel like I didn't do enough to prepare. If anyone who might read this has any helpful interview tips it would be appreciated.

One thing that helped me land my job is I hired an interview consultant who helped me practice for my interview. It did cost me nearly $150, but it was well worth the investment. I mean, when you think about it, people spend nearly that much eating out a few times or at a bar and think nothing of it. Plus, job prep fees can be written off of taxes. So, maybe consider looking for someone to help prep you for your interview. These can be done digitally over the computer or in person. Something like that might take some of the anxiety away from the interview. Good luck!
