Hello Blacker: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.
![]() ![]() You asked how to have a stable performance when you're not on a good situation during an interview. I'm not sure what to tell you about this. I think one important thing, with any job interview, is to be prepared. Learn as much as you can about the job you're applying for as well as about the employer & the type of business they are in. The more knowledgeable you are the better you are likely to come across & the more confident you can feel in your ability to do well in the interview. ![]() Beyond that, if your situation is one of trying to do well in an interview while you're struggling with depression & anxiety, that certainly does complicate everything. I don't know if there really are any tips I can offer on how to do well when one is struggling with mental health concerns. I think what may perhaps be necessary would be to treat the depression & anxiety before you get to the point where you have to figure out how to do well in a pressure situation such as a job interview. If you wait until the last minute, so to speak, it may simply be too late to do much other than to just forge ahead & do your best. ![]() Having written that, however, here are links to 3 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that offer suggestions for how to do well in a job interview plus one that talks about how to deal with job search rejection: NLP Tip: How to Ace that Job Interview | NLP Discoveries In Job Interview, Focus Less on Anxiety, More on Warmth, Assertiveness 5 Body Language Tricks to Ace Your Next Interview 4 Ways to Deal with Job Search Rejection I hope you find PC to be of benefit. ![]()

Every one of us who has depression is a good actor. So you are going to be an award winning actor at the interview. You could watch some Tony Roberts videos on You Tube or his website (motivational speaker). Tucksomething in your pocket that seems lucky for you,maybe a picture of someone you love who would be encouraging you. Play some lively music. I recommend the Gipsy Kings (fast Spanish guitar, try You Tube). My friend used to play that for me when I was depressed. Talk to a friend who will encourage you the night before. Hey, you’ve fought through tougher things than this. You’ve got this.! Skezyks gave excellent advice.
