Interview anxiety is something so many people suffer with. At various points in life, you will recognise that change is on the horizon and it is time to get a new job. If only one could get a job from your credentials on paper alone, eh?
But there has been a gap until now identifying the reasons why an interview is stressful for someone with anxiety, and about applying those interview tips and advice I have shared previously, to somebody with anxiety… somebody just like me.
Rightly or wrongly, I go into an interview and treat it like a performance, a display of my best self demonstrating my personality and my capability for the role I am in contention for.
The fact that my interview anxiety is going mad behind the scenes and I am a ball of insecurity on the inside shouldn’t prevent me from getting the role. And it shouldn’t be the same for you either.
