I can feel it coming on, I have my first interview this week and I am starting to get nervous/anxious. I am scared this is going to turn into a PA or severe anxiety situation.

I really cannot afford another setback, really who can ;-)

But I just wondered what you all do in high pressure situations when you absolutely can not let the anxiety monster come out to play.

Lisa,

First know you will get any job you want GF you are the best truly.. second it is ok to be alittle nervous but challage The monster tell it hey you are not comeing outand if you do I will throw you on the person interveing me and do it. The only differnet in you and that person that will be intervieing you is you are fresh and she is not. and she is going to welcome you so much, probly beg you too come to work for them, but don't settle, because you are checking them out not vese or versa, have question to ask them really, you will be fine. Just let me know if you throw the monster on them. Knockem dead Lisa.
yes you have come very far and boy to sttle ah no.

You know I care and love ya you will be fine.

Good Luck to you and have fun!

BIG BIG HUGS Lynn

Hi, just wanted to say that you are having a normal kind of anxiety, anyone is nervous about stuff such as a new job or interview. I have found to take a slow deep breath thru my nose and hold for the count of 10 and then release thru my mouth slowly a few times,

Thanks Lynn,

I am so worked up about this because I know 5 people who went up for this behavioral interview and only 1 passed! Then you get to the next "level" and have the real interview for the job. So basically this is an interview to get an interview!

I am worried! Glad to have your support.

Thanks Debbie!

I need all the kind words I can get. I am feeling very self conscious about this because I know 5 other students who took this interview and only 1 passed. Those odds aren't looking so good ;-)

It is some kind of behavioral interview I have never had one of those before!

(((Lisa))) Just focus on your breathing, not on the anxiety.
