I have recently had 3 interviews for different jobs and they were awful and I didn't get to the next stage.
I am currently a fairly senior member of a charity and I'm great on the job and where I currently work, everyone really values me but I am very underpaid and the is no chance of this changing in the foreseeable future. People like me and I get people collaborating and have brilliant feedback.
I am looking for a new role as I need to be earning more money or I would stay where I am as I love it.
Feedback from the interviews has been that I am nervous, they know they didn't get the best from me but they really liked me.
Basically I have lost confidence since having my children and I find it difficult singing my own praises because I just feel like I am winging everything juggling life! I know I have great experience and I am a good team leader. I prep for interviews like crazy, lots of practice, examples etc but when I am in the room never manage to say everything I know I should. I feel really low after my last experience. It is such a shame I can't say at the beginning of interviews that am terrible at interviews but brilliant on the job!
Can you give me your tips on how to overcome this please?
