Today, after searching for a job for over a year now, I finally got an interview. The pressure made me so nervous that I passed out in the middle of it. FML

Today, I went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML

Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

Today, I went to an important job interview. I was really anxious but tried to soldier on anyway. When I was called in, my nerves got so bad that I reverted to speaking my second language. Not first, second. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the job. FML

Today, I went to my first ever job interview, in a totally stressed out state. The employer's first question was: "What's your name?" I forgot. FML

Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML

Honestly I would hire that person, assuming they didn't bomb the rest of the interview. It shows passion. Or something.

Just keep in mind deep breaths for next time! I also heard that keeping an open posture prior to the interview boosts your confidence somehow (it was in a Ted Talk) so maybe try that next time, good luck!!

Maybe eat a healthy breakfast/brunch & do some running or exercise beforehand to relax yourself. Remember to breathe slow & deep!

These things happen, just relax and take a deep breathe. They are not your enemy! I'm sure they understand that you are nervous! You've got this op!

Today, at work at an OB office, I heard a ruckus in the hallway before a very large woman burst into my room and tried to attack my very pregnant patient. Crazy lady is the wife of the pregnant lady’s baby daddy, who is nowhere to be found. I don’t get paid enough for this shit. FML
