I'm really anxious about the whole thing though. In case I mess it up. It feels so worrying having to prepare for the interview, not just thinking about what to wear but also how to answer questions they might ask me.

It seems there's so much information out there about what to say and what not to say... I'm just getting so confused and overwhelmed. I really think this job is an ideal fit for me. I am so worried I won't get it. Money is quite tight at the moment as well and I just would love this job! I'm not very confident and so am really concerned about having to make myself sound good in the interview.

I'm also struggling on looking for other jobs too. Nothing seems to measure up to this one. There isn't many jobs in my area of work and I don't want to move away. The jobs that are coming up in my search just don't seem appealing. So I'm not sure what to do if I don't get this one.

Can anyone relate?? Is there any tips to prepare for interviews that are a bit less overwhelming??

Thank you!!!
I always sit down and write out what the possible questions they might ask me might be and think of how I will answer that. They ask, in my field, a lot about previous situations and what I did. So I've thought about different anecdotes I can share about working with unhappy clients or dealing with crises, etc.

I also write out at least 10 questions I have about the work place so that they know I'm serious about finding the right fit for me. If you want to PM m the field, I'm like an interview pro now, been interviewing almost nonstop for 4 months, made it to he top 2 choices numerous times, just haven't been the final choice. If you pm me some.details I can give you some specific questions that I ask or that you should prepare for.
