To cancel a job interview

95 replies

OngoingCrisis · 13/04/2023 21:54

I'm probably being irrational and overthinking but this job interview is making me so anxious. I've had one interview with the same company and I've made it to the second interview. I have to do a 10 minute presentation via teams, they've scheduled one hour for the teams meeting so not sure what else to expect beyond the presentation. I'm very close to pulling out of it as I'm so anxious, I want this job so badly but I'm scared that the presentation will let me down.

AIBU to cancel my interview?

Oh this is such good news!! I’d been reading your replies and was about to say that the interview running long was a GOOD sign. Well done and I hope you are really happy there :)

Congratulations I’m so happy for you! I suffer from anxiety too and find job interviews terrifying and have cancelled several times and regretted it. So it’s lovely to see a good outcome.

Sorry just seen I'm late to the party. I interview a lot and if I'm not interested in the candidate I definitely dont run over time. So sounds more promising than you might think.

Wallywobbles · 18/04/2023 17:24

Of it's zoom i turn off the self view so I can't see myself. Otherwise I just stare at myself.

Wallywobbles · 18/04/2023 17:16

Do practice out loud. I gave a presentation recently and while I could say the key word in my head it turned out I couldn't say it out loud!
