How do you guys cope with interviews? Nice suit, nice cv, honest, work hard....but answering questions is so difficult.

Can you say more about what you experience @igetboredeasy ? For me I find I have to use all my strength not to go on and on (and on). I think I'm being charming and witty. I don't think that's what comes over...

addingtonbear yes exactly that but also i try to put things in a way that i think they are thinking and if you need to be tactful it's not very ideal.

I've never got a job through an interview always through word of mouth and someone else recommending me
I know that I really really don't interview well so I tackle it from another angle
for example the job I have now I didn't know anyone who worked there even though it's the 2nd largest employer in the country
So I told everyone I knew that I was applying for this job
2 people I know knew 2 different managers that work in the business
So they put in a good word for me and the managers in turn put in a good word with my interviewer
And so I got the job
There's more than 1 way 2 skin a cat!

I have a friend who is ADHD and he has lots of jobs this way speedy1. I seem to have trouble getting a good employer because of interviews though.

Oh 1 of my worst interviews that I somehow got the job (coz my mate worked there)
I'd got there on my motorbike, it was chucking it down
and my waterproof pants had a breather hole in the crotch
So when I took the waterproofs off yep wet patch in that area
So literally my first words 2 my new boss were I haven't wet myself
If I had 2 rely solely on an interview don't think I'd of ever been employed

yeah its tough. i have to prepare for days and keeping concentration is almost impossible some days. anxiety can be bad and also fear of forgetting my lines. i take gaba to calm me down but its not perfect. i do get some jobs and sometimes fluff the whole thing which can be embarrassing. i once had a panic attack in an easy job interview for the bank of england. i could not remeber a thing when they asked me questions. pretty awful. so i take the gaba to calm down the anxiety. i dont take any other drugs, i tried a couple but they didnt work for me.
