I am horrible at interview. I don't know when I became such a bag of nerves but I have.
My last interview was so stressful I cried for 3 days after, made worse by the fact I knew all the candidates and was more qualified and experienced than all of them. The nerves kill me. Absolute annihilate me. I cannot string a sentence together and couldn't tell you my own name.

I've clearly lost my marbles but I've applied for another promotion. I know I'd be excellent in this role. I have years of relevant experience and more than enough qualifications as well as a strong vision for the service.... Pointless if I cannot convey that.
So... Propranolol, Kalms, brandy?? Is one wiser than the other? What do I need? Outfit is picked out, I feel powerful and able in it. I've watched Amy Cuddy's TED talk. Power poses activated.

All tips gratefully received. I've 3 weeks to prep. My heart is pounding already thinking about it.

Take a controlled, longer than usual breath before answering each question. Exhale a little longer than the inhale. This calms me, otherwise I'd be a jittery mess.
