When I read yr blog I remembered my case 2 yrs ago before I get my first job after graduating from University. I conducted around 8 interviews ,some of them I thought I did fine and well presenred myself"in my opinion :)". Believe it or not , I was rejected in all the seven interviews . The worst one was the 7th. I came in and I was confident about what I'm going to say but not so sure about my performance in front of the interviewers . I started introducing myself and it was fine so far , until I started to talk about my training and answering their questions. I had a very bad block , I swet , I thought even of leaving the room but there was something kept holding me in to talk and say whaat I wanted 2 say. Unfortuantely, they got bored and interput my speach many times ,"or my noisy stuttering voice" I was frustrated abit because I couldn't even hold my breath and talk slowly as my therapist told me 2 do. The good news was the 8th interview I got accepted and I can't tell u how happy and proud I was. Even though I weren't any better in presenting and talking in the interview . I tried to do a couple of interviews after this one to examine my performance , I didn't sucessed to be honest and after 2 yrs working in this job , my social anexiety drops to low levels , and this helps me to improve my speach abit. I hope yr gonna get over this and get a job .If u get it just try to make the most out of it by improving yr self on the personal and technical level. Regards
