My B-school job interviews are just a day away.

I am quite literally paralyzed with fear. I have prepared much better than I did for my summer internship interviews. Yet I find myself a complete emotional mess.

I am really afraid the fear is going to hamper the last leg of my preparation and possibly, my performance at the interviews. sad

What can I do to numb myself for just 2 days more, grit my teeth, forget my homesickness and quiet voices in my head, and just get through the interviews?

Personally, I think numbing yourself is not the answer.

Telling yourself that you are smart enough do this is a good thing to do.

Assuring yourself that the person who interviews you, was in your place once. That person is, just like anyone else, nothing special. Nothing to be afraid off.

No one is going to hurt you.

If you are asked something that you do not know, say something along the lines of; "I am not 100% sure, however I can found out the answer, I am like digging for information/truth"

We are all humans, we eat, drink, eliminate the same way. You are enough. No better or worse than anyone else. We all have how talents to give to the world.

Hold your truth like a shield.

Best of luck

go trendy. awesome stuff.

be yourself, trust me, this is key. good interviewers understand anxiety, and get it, and good ones aren't bothered by it. go with the flow.
