Beta blockers

Try taking beta blockers before interview. I was also nervous like you before interview, feel jittery. Then my friend who worked as consultant told me he took beta blockers when he present to an audience of 1000 and it helped.

I think you can get beta blockers from the GP with prescription for anxiety. Just take only before interview. Quite harmless. Worked very well for me. I even able to take one before intense negotiation with previous boss and bang table.

The worst is that the employer can make the decision bassed on your fear and the interview might end up with a fail and a dissapointment for you which will lead a lost of confidence for the next interview. What I suggest to my students is to take some supplements that help the brain relax. Read about Sulbutiamine on [URL="s://.trickortreatment.com/where-to-buy-sulbutiamine-online/"]trickortreatment.com[/ and you'll find out more and them. It is a really useful trick that overcomes fear.
Wear short skirt and try to zao geng during interviews. It will greatly boost your confidence that confirm you will get the job n you will stop being nervous.

Wow means every intense interview/public speaking session u took proponolol? Isnt by practicing the best way to overcome anxiety? Youre so dependent on that tablet.. You took right before the interview or a few hours before?

Unregistered If after 1-2 min you tend to be normal but are still not getting second interviews/offers, I really don't think it's due to your nerves that you are striking out. Unless the job you are applying for requires nerves of steel or lots of posturing during client meetings, most interviewers will understand and accept 1-2 mins of nerves. You may want to relook the content of your answers.

But worse comes to worst, just apologise for the tremble in your voice and blame air-conditioning in the waiting area. =p

Unregistered_101 Going on top the earlier poster, you need to put yourself in a mindset that the company needs you more than you need them. Go into the interview in a position where you are also interviewing them if they deserve to have your services. This will least help you view this as an equal opportunity for both parties.

Happy CNY.

Unregistered Go into the interview without the mindset of getting the "job" but rather, to understand the job and making new friends/ connections.

If possible, try to reduce the formality of the atmosphere. I find that if I go into an interview thinking that I am meeting a friend and not getting a job, I am a lot less nervous.

Also, there are millions of jobs out there. One will fit you. Don't fit yourself into the job but try to find a job that will compliment you. That way you will not be so pressured to "please" the interviewers. If you have an extremely hard time pleasing the interviewers, and they turn out to be your superior, good luck. Whereas if they are friendly and chill and turn out to be your superiors, you're in luck.

Good luck

Unknown_123 I found that keeping silent for first 30 seconds helped to reduce my stutter by 50%

I will suggest practicing your opening act in front of a mirror daily for multiple times. Something simple like, Hi, my name is ____ and it is my pleasure to meet you. / thank you for taking your time out to interview me.

Hope that helps. Practice makes perfect!
Thank you! Whenever the spotlight is on me, i’ll get nervous and feel theres an adrenaline rush. I have finally decided to join toast masters to enhance my public speaking skills.
