What to do when you feel anxiety is creeping on you?
Before your interview you can:
• Concentrate on your breathing
• Silence the voices that might be hindering you using your peripheral vision
During your interview:
• Make sure that you have something to drink and if you are asked a difficult
question that you need extra time to answer, fake a cough and drink while
thinking
• Also if you feel your voice getting high pitched, use the excuse of the water to
give you a chance to breathe deeply.
