Hi
I have name changed as I don’t want this following me round if I don’t get it.
I have an interview today. I’m the front runner (I know most of the team in the Org) but it all depends how this actually goes. Everyone keeps sending me ‘you’ve got this’’ messages. In fact more people know about it than I would have liked. I’ve had loads of supportive messages.
However I am god awful at interviews. I can publicly speak. I can present. I can lead groups but interviews make me clam up. All this mounting pressure of people telling me I’m a shoe in is making things worse and now, on top of the worry of the actual interview I’m already feeling ashamed and embarrassed if I don’t get it (which I may not because some of the other candidates are strong- I’m just a bit more experienced). I tried practicing again yesterday and with all of this I’m feeling more stressed and like I’m going to fail.
How can I gather my calm around this? Does anyone have any good techniques to support?
