I get too nervous and anxious... What are you basing these observations on? And if you're having trouble, you could try seeking out coaching. For general nerves and anxiety, you may even consider seeking out normal counseling. mastermix3000 posted... GreenTreeClub posted... The less I practice, the better I do Good, that's usually how it is (for the most part) The only real "practice" you need to do is research the company. Other than that, it is a basic conversation Winging it is generally terrible advice. You should at least rehearse some talking points, especially in regards to how your experience qualifies you for the position. And keep in mind that some hiring managers won't know to ask the right questions -- because they might have skimmed over a relevant portion of the resume -- so it's really up to the applicant to know how their experience makes them a good fit for the job. GreenTreeClub posted... The experience issue is also the problem. Even entry level jobs or jobs without experience requirements on the posting, inevitably, the interview brings up experience. I'm also not a good conversationalist either. If they called you in, they must think that you have the baseline experience to do the job. So while experience makes a difference, the fact that you're sitting there means you shouldn't feel too nervous about lacking experience unless the employer massively fucked up somehow. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:888385992] in How do I s...
