I have been called in for an interview for my dream job. It’s tomorrow, lunchtime. I haven’t been feeling that nervous but as the time ticks past, I’m starting to crap myself a little! 😂

I think I’m scared that I’ll just freeze up, or say stupid things, or that my voice will go all trembly and weird.

Or that I’ll look TOO enthusiastic and they’ll be thinking, “There’s no way you’d get this job, calm down...”

Ugh. Any tips would be amazing. I have Beta Blockers (doctor gave them to me for anxiety last year) but I’m scared I’ll feel weird and ill, which would be worse!

If I were meeting them to discuss working together on a project, I’d be fine! It’s just that it’s a job interview that’s freaking me out. I’ve been self-employed for years so I have only had about 3 interviews.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I didn't get the job. "...we felt other applicants were a better match for our skills and experience requirements".
