Anxious about Job Interview on Wednesday

[Ferrari21]

Hi everyone,

I have a job interview on Wednesday in person at 8:45 am in the morning and I'm anxious about it. I get nervous talking to people. Just hoping that it goes well.

Maybe you can try to practice an interview with a friend or family member or, write out some questions and answers. You may try to research the place you're going to interview at and get to know them, too.

Breathe, you'll be ok.

[Ferrari21 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah, I was planning on writing out my questions and answers. I know where the place for my interview is already. Thank you!!

[Hidden in reply to Ferrari21]

How'd it go?

[Ferrari21 in reply to Hidden]

The interview isn't until tomorrow morning. But thanks for asking anyways.

[Hidden in reply to Ferrari21]

Ok, now how'd it go? Lol

[Ferrari21 in reply to Hidden]

The interview went pretty well, they sent me another email about going in for another interview this Thursday.

[Hidden in reply to Ferrari21]

Well, congratulations! That's great news! 👍🏻I'm sure you did just fine 🙂

[Ferrari21 in reply to Hidden]

Me too, thank you!!

[Hidden]

And, good luck! You'll do great I'm sure. It's quite normal to be nervous about such an event, remember that.

[Ferrari21 in reply to Hidden]

For sure, I hope so. I just get anxiety a lot.

[Tealpillow in reply to Ferrari21]

I hear you! But the fact that you put yourself out there is amazing. I’m about to lose my job (layoffs) and will be hitting the interview rounds again. My anxiety about it is sky high so you aren’t alone! Wishing you all the best

[Ferrari21 in reply to Tealpillow]

Thank you TealPillow!

At least at 8.45am once its done its over for the rest of the day!

All you can do is give it the best you can!

Worst thing that happens is you don't get the job and if not the world won't end!

[Ferrari21 in reply to Turnipgirl]

That's true, Turnipgirl. I'm just going to give the interview my best.

[Stippler]

I can relate to your anxiousness. I am holding you in calming light. You can do it!

[Ferrari21 in reply to Stippler]

Thank you Stippler!

[Teaching]

I wish you luck. I understand what you mean but just trust yourself and assure yourself that you can do it.

[Ferrari21 in reply to Teaching]

For sure, I know that I can do it. I believe in myself.

You are in the vast majority when it comes to being nervous about a job interview. Folks have given good advice I see. Think of it as an adventure and also that you are interviewing them as well. Is this place worthy of your talent? Treat yourself to lunch or something after the interview.

Good luck.

[Ferrari21 in reply to Thankfulforhelp22]

Yes, I wanna be a school crossing guard. Thanks!

Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before. 8.45 is a terrible time to have an interview, but at least it will soon be over and you can enjoy the rest of the day.

As you are in the room so early, what can you do to make sure they remember you when they've closed the door on the last candidate.

[Turnipgirl in reply to MaggieSylvie]

I have had a few interviews say between 8am and 9.30am and I find in lots of ways they are good as once they are over I don't have to worry for the rest of the day!

Once I had a 3pm interview at a place and my ex boyfriend had said to me I thought you didn't like afternoon interviews and I had said I don't mind a variety of times and that you can't go through life always doing things you like can you?

If we always did things we liked we wouldn't appreciate anything and wouldn't be challenged in learning new skills!

[MaggieSylvie in reply to Turnipgirl]

I envy your being able to get to interviews at any time. Mind you, I am far beyond all that now.

[Ferrari21 in reply to MaggieSylvie]

Definitely, I'm going to go bed early the night before.

[designguy]

You might mentally switch it around and think of you interviewing them to see if they are the right fit for you and whether you want to work there or not.

[Ferrari21 in reply to designguy]

That's true, let's see if this interview is a good fit for me.

[HealingYogini]

I recommend some deep breaths beforehand. Just 3 should do it. Exhale that nervousness. Best of luck!

[Ferrari21 in reply to HealingYogini]

Yeah, I'm gonna take your advice and do some deep breathing before my interview. Thank you so much!

[Trainchaser]

You got this. Use breathing techniques to calm before interview. Good luck. Rick

[Ferrari21 in reply to Trainchaser]

Thank you Trainchaser! Will do that before my interview tomorrow.
