I have a job interview on Monday

And I think I am procrastinating 😩

I have a blank notebook in front of me that I keep looking at and pushing away.

Why can't the only interview questions be 'can you do this job' and 'do you want this job'.

I can do it, just pay me and let me show you. Why do I have to jump through these hoops and give you evidence and examples beforehand??

Haha i know the feeling all too well.. My advice is to believe in yourself, be humble and honest, don't jump through hoops for an interview unless it feels like there's a chance (you'll gain enough experience after 3 failed interviews), do not put all eggs in one basket (but do try harder on the ones you really want), and when you do not get the job let yourself feel bad for a couple of days but try your best to not take it personal, most likely there're just too many applying.

Also, after every interview, treat yourself to something small, like a pizza or a drink 😍! Make it fun to go out there!

@MartinTheFirst Thanks, good tips! I 'know' all the 'right things to do' and I am sure I will be ok, it's just the natural nerves and pressure I suppose, the fear that I won't remember or have the exact right thing to say in the moment although outside of the interview it comes easily.

@helsbels They dont seem to mind you thinking about things or correcting yourself that much so take your time to get things as correct as you can, the importance there is the destination.

I actually got employed not necessarily because i knew a lot of things, but because when he asked me if I knew something, I didn't try to make something up but said I'd have to look into it. 😂
