I have an interview for a promotion next week. It's a BIG leap both responsibility and money wise. I've been studying for the qualification needed for over a year and I'm really pleased to get the interview.
However, I have NEVER been successful in interviews in my field. I mean never. I've gotten the interviews, prepared, practiced and then, on the day, nerves take over.
I forget everything, ramble, go at the speed of light. I also-full disclosure-spend the whole interview needing the loo. It's quite hard to concentrate when your nerves manifest themselves this way!
I know I'm not getting the job (there's a candidate with much more experience and Im pretty sure this is them being kind) BUT I don't want to come across as a total lost cause, especially as it's an internal promotion. I could cope with being shit if it was a completely different company, but knowing I'll have to face these people again makes me desperate to not come off as a complete moron.
Any tips? How do you stay calm, seem confident and remember your answers?
