Interview problem
::shrug::
I walk into interviews and tell people that I have a raging case of ADHD and regardless of whatever they say after that, I always reply with "what, i'm sorry, I got distracted." It's the truth, but it's light-hearted as well. From there they can decide to probe deeper or to move past it, but I did give them the opportunity which reduces any apprehension / tension i might be feeling about it.
suggest you try role playing an interview with a friend several times before you go to another one.
I interview people. I'm used to seeing nervous people, although I see more overly cocky people than nervous (might be the field).
It's OK to be nervous, but you do need to warm up during the interview. I make a conscious effort to not let first impressions affect things, in the interview gets better.
It's true, if the interview goes downhill, I'm left with a bad impression and that's likely how I'll remember the person.
OK, so what can YOU do? Practice, practice, practice. Get a friend to interview you. Hard. Video it and watch it, thinking about what you're doing/not doing.
When you go into the interview, psych yourself up. After all, this is a chance for you to show off. Very other few times in life do you get a chance to talk about yourself and how great you are. Even if you're a shy type or your accident caused you to lose some confidence, use the interview as a time to forget all of that and strut your stuff.
If you're not interested in the job, it's near impossible to interview well. If you like the person, but realize the job isn't for you, I'd suggest simply saying "I really appreciate your time, but it doesn't sound like this is quite what I was looking for. You've been great."
It's possible that the interviewer will want to dig and found out WHY you don't think it's a good match. S/he might be able to correct a misperception.
If not, you've shown some respect (a nice thing to do) by not wasting her time. You didn't want the job, anyway.
And knowing that YOU are in control is going to help YOU rebuild your confidence.
