I am taking the first step in leaving a very toxic work environment today - I have my first job interview! Super excited! Super scared!!! Haven't done this in 13 plus years!!! I have been a very loyal employee.

Any advice to keep the anxiety at bay??? I can't just baby step this one or say no pressure - this is a real life changer for me! HELP!!!

Thank you - this was good advice. I told a good story and got a genuine laugh - I felt very witty and approachable but comfortable talking about my achievements as well. It really went great! Thank you for the pep!

Hehe, i always tell myself that when i get nervous during interview. It doesnt matter if i get the job or not, at least it was not awkward and most importantly, i did my best. Hope it turns out well for you!!
