I have just finished my degree, and have started applying for jobs. The types of interviews I will be going for will have a panel of about 3 people, and are quite formal. This is exactly the type of situation I panic in - i.e. situations where I have to come up with answers to questions on the spot. My head goes all fuzzy and empty and all I can think is "crap, I have to think of an answer!" I have always thought I would be OK, and that surely I wouldn't panic in such an important situation. But I am starting to worry. I have certainly panicked in bad situations before, e.g. while giving a presentation, while on clinical placement at a hospital etc. So I don't know how things will work out...
I'm just rambling, but yeah, has anyone else had similar problems, or do people want to share interview experiences/tips? Has anyone actually panicked in an interview before? What should you say if it happens? See, I can't panic and have it go unnoticed. It will stop me from being able to talk, and I will probably end up crying. Such a wimp.
