Hiya
Do any other anxiety sufferers have particular problems with job interviews, and if so, how do you overcome them?
I've been working since I was 16, in between studying, and have good experience. But everytime I attend a job interview my nerves go through the roof and I start sweating, trembling and stuttering. This has actually stopped me from getting various jobs, and in interview feedback all the potential employers say I was just far too nervous and didn't come across confident and able.
I'm very poor, and from a poor family, so while I'm living at home my mum can't afford for me to be unemployed. Also my boyfriend and friends are all marginally wealthier than me, so even things like going to the cinema is pretty hard for me (also my boyfriend lives on the other side of London, and travel is really really expensive) And when my friends ask me to do things with them I always have to decline because I have no money, so I really need a job.
Does anyone have a few tactics that they use before going to a job interview, or to stop coming across as really anxious?
