So I have this issue sometimes, where I fear I'll turn into a bumbling idiot (even when talking about things I know quite a bit about), and that fear turns me into a bumbling idiot.
I've got two interviews. One is today, one is tomorrow. I was so ready for them! My resume's been proofread five times, and it's all TRUE. They're both at hotels and I know how hotels work. I can really do this.
But yesterday I was hung over and half asleep in a snuggle when someone else called. I didn't catch her name or get a phone number because I was so surprised by the whole thing that I was totally incompetent. I'm not even sure what city this interview is in. Plus it was something about working towards "sales goals" which I'm sure I can't do. I think I'm just not going to go, since I don't really know where I'm going, I wouldn't like or want to keep the job, I don't know who I'm going to see, and I can't call to cancel. I've also already made enough of a fool of myself over the phone, that I don't think they'll mind the loss.
But that's not really the problem. The problem is that now what if it doesn't matter how confident I feel or how capable I am, what if I turn into a shy little inexperienced pile of dust like I did over the phone?
All I can do is take the afternoon for mental preparation, I guess.
