...they are my Achilles Heel. No matter what I do, medication/therapy, I bomb them, that is assuming I have the fortitude to even make it thru the door.
What helps you? Or, any advice?

Getting through the door is the biggest accomplishment, after that, relax, be yourself, realize the person you're talking to is just another person with possible thier own issues. Try to talk to them as you would as with a friend. Keep all the positive things about your skills, etc in the forefront. And try to 'appear' relaxed. It's hard, but you can do it!

I always prepare ahead of time. I've been on so many job interviess that i've always had a list of questions and i answer them. Then i spend time before the interview going over them and really preparing based on what i believe they are going to ask. The more i prepare the less anxious i am. I have to put ansers down and study them because either i dont know how to answer or i have to much to say. this way it prepares me. If i go in and not prepare then i bomb them.
I know its that we are just talking to antoher person but we tend to put to much pressure on ourselves to do great so we get hired. At least that is me.
For me, if i get a good vibe from the person interviewing me i do great. If the person interviewing me is dull and boring then i feel that way. Message me and i can give you questions to prepare for.
