Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have been out of college and without a job for about a year now. It has been difficult for me to get a job in my field with my low GPA and no internships, and people don't want to employ me for lower pay jobs because I look overqualified.
My friend works at his father's manufacturing business. It is not the work he is looking for either, but he has been doing it since he graduated two years ago. He says they don't usually employ friends because alot of the time things don't work out. He says they can't pay me alot, and it is boring work.
I need to just start working somewhere. This job sounds like work I might be good at, and it is probably better on my resume than fast food or something because it relates to technology. In fact, I will probably only work there for maybe a year because I really want to get into my career field (engineering). I also might be going to the Air Force soon. I am going to take an officer qualifying test in a month.
I'm just nervous because I don't want to mess up this opportunity. I am usually pretty bad at first impressions. The friend that set this up is one of my good friends, but I haven't really met his father. I also don't want to mess up my work and strain my friendship. I really want a solid reference of work experience for my future as well. I've only had one job, and it ended pretty stupidly. I basically got fired from a fast food place for not talking enough.

You just keep your eyes open, and do whatever you are told to do no matter if it sets the anxiety off or not. :) I found I could certainly keep working, and in fact this helped get through the anxiety and out the other side.
I've also heard, on the way to the interview give a beggar some money or do some other good deed. This will help you feel good inside. Also if they offer a glass of water or coffee at the interview, say yes please. It gives everyone a moment to relax, and you can sip it whenever you are asked a question and need a moment to think.

Thanks for the advice Bridgie. I guess my friend vouched for me pretty well, because the interview went really smoothly, despite me not being very good at interviews. I'll do my best to do a good job and have everything run smoothly and end well. I'll keep in mind to do good deeds before any other interviews I will have. :)
Salvatop, I majored in aerospace engineering. I probably aimed to high for my brain power, lol. I wanted to maybe work in the space industry, but I'm probably going to end up somewhere else, hopefully still in engineering.
