Why I'm Afraid of a Job Interview!
I have a job interview scheduled for this week and I'm Scared! Here are my reasons. They are:
1. I may make big blunders when I talk. I am afraid of most strangers. These strangers can judge me unfavorably because I don't talk much.
2. I don't feel completely qualified. I don't think I'll measure up as well as the other candidates.
3. I think my appearance will dis-qualify me. I can't do much about that.
4. I think that this whole process has been rigged and I don't stand a chance to get this job.
Here are some remedies: They are: I can talk and rehearse in front of a mirror and can get someone I know to rehearse with me. Golly, I'm just as qualified as anyone else. Isn't that why I was called for an interview? It was and now I believe it. My appearance can be improved, I think. I can go to a good department store, ask the clerk for help and buy myself one good outfit that makes me look great. That applies to my makeup and hair. So what, if the interview is a popularity con- test. I can get wonderful practice, and might get the job that day! I CAN MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION. I'll do it!
