Accommodations for Interviews…

Has anyone ever asked for one?
My anxiety has gotten so bad, I am afraid I am going to miss out on great opportunities if i don’t request accommodations. I’m definitely going back to my meds - got off of them because I am an idiot.
I currently am in the process for both D and PwC, and having just finished the process with ACN, where I did good up until the last interview with the MD where I was over the place and it showed.

Out of curiosity, what accomodations would you be requesting? As someone who has anxiety disorder myself, I've learned that delaying/prolonging something like interviews, presentations, etc. end up making me feel more anxious.

Curious as to the accommodations you’re requesting. I have crippling anxiety as well and am not sure what accommodation would make an interview easier to handle.

I guess I don’t know- that’s why I am asking.
What coping mechanism do you guys use that you can share?

Look up diaphragmatic breathing and practice that. think of questions they may ask and jot down what your response will be, dont try to make it essay-perfect. just get an idea of how the convo will go and visualize it. i dont like to practice my answers aloud since i find it can make my responses sound scripted during interviews. get good sleep and limit, or esp stay off of, social media. focus your energy on things you enjoy in the meantime (things that dont involve a phone/computer) like hobbies or what not. talk to friends/your therapist abt ur anxiousness and they may be able to provide words of affirmation/advice.

Interviewing for a CSM role. Need to present a mock case study to customers. Gist of it is that the customer is advertising with us, doing well, but also doing well advertising with another company. Im assuming the presentation should consist of a performance review, why they should stay with us, and upsell potential. I’ve never done anything like this.

What usually goes into these presentations? What kinds of questions should I prep for?

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
