I thought i had it. I prepped myself with information before it, i practiced how to sell myself, and then it happened....

my mind went blank on two questions they asked me...all i could do was look up at the ceiling thinking too hard about how to answer those two difficult questions and mumble "ummm".....

i had said a couple of things on a question that i messed up on and then one person (interviewing me) said "thats okay you don't have to say anything else, it's alright". I felt so weak and embarrassed. Why the hell wouldn't my brain work so that I could come up with the right words???? Now they think that I wasn't on my A-game!!! That i was unprepared.....when i really wasn't, my brain froze. I couldn't think of shit.

Damn Damn Damn!!! Has this happened to any you guys before????

my mom used to be a personnel director, so i'm very well trained in how to get through an interview. it's how to act when i actually get the job that's been my problem.

I'm sorry to hear that...

Hope you get the job

And if you don't then just use the interview as a learning experience. It's also good to call that employer and ask what you can do to improve your interview skills. More than likely they will tell you so long as you can take negative criticism. It's good to know.

uhh yeah that is a problem anx....

and the sad part about it is, that i've done much better on interviews before, but today i don't know what the hell happened....

I usually walk out like "fuck yeah"!!!! But today i when i left i just wanted to go home, crawl under the sheets and just hide I know i could have done much better than i did....had it not been for the nerves....
