Is it normal to feel this nervous before a job interview? +tips?

	Is it normal to feel this nervous before a job interview? +tips? My heart is beating fast, my hands are shaking and my legs feel kinda weak, I'm pacing and I've got a stomach ache? I get like this at other times too... Like before meeting a friend or getting a vaccination or going on a plane? Actually... I worry about everything and sometimes I don't even know why. Does this sound like an anxiety disorder or something or is it normal? Also any tips for a GROUP JOB INTERVIEW would be good. thanks so much Asked By: frackyes - 4/10/2011

	How to fake being confident starting my first job? So I've just got a job at sainsburys (big food shopping centre) I have two induction days tomorrow and Saturday and I'm just very very nervous. All my life i've suffered from social anxiety, shyness and I blush uncontrollably. I've done work experience before and it was horrible. This is my first proper job and I just want to do well. For my interview I told myself to just fake being confident, I thought I could do it but I even struggled with that. I'm so happy to have got this job and I just want to be confident and not be scared to go wrong, or blush or to just talk! Any tips would be really appreciated! I'm an 18 year old girl btw. 7 answers - Asked By: Dhsfs - 11/15/2012

	I just had an interview for a job in administration in a care home for adults with disabilities!? I was told that there will be occasions in which I will have to interact with the service users. I've never worked in this particular environment and I am pretty nervous, as it's new to me. I was wondering if anyone had any tips. 4 answers - Asked By: ZigZag - 9/16/2010
