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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got called for a job interview. I didn't catch where it was, and in my excitement I forgot to ask. I now have no idea where I'm being interviewed. FML
Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. FML
Today, I had an interview for a new position in my company. The head of HR decided to sit and I got so nervous that I just spouted gibberish for 45 minutes. Pretty sure I convinced her I’m not qualified for the position I’m currently in. 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 got so nervous that I actually peed my pants during a job 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 woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, after a spate of bad ones, I was in another job interview trying my hardest to give a good impression. After answering a few questions, I realized to my horror that while I was talking I was swiveling my chair from left to right like a nervous child. FML
Today, I shat myself during a job interview. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML

"So, how'd the last interviewee do?" "They didn't start off strong, but halfway through, they turned the whole thing around on me. They had me questioning not only where and what the job was but also who /I/ am. Where do /I/ see myself in five years? What is /my/ name again? It was impressive."

You need to apply to work an Alzheimer's/dementia assisted-living complex. You'll fit right in.

Every interview I've had I started with "I'll be honest, I'm very nervous and I talk fast when I'm nervous and I've been working on my social anxiety so I do apologize if I seem jittery ahaha" and I've nailed every interview. They usually understand EVERYONE is nervous and if you sort of just roll it out right away, you can see their reaction and understanding and shake it off. You can also practice practice practice in the mirror! It gets easier the more you do it ;)
