Anyone else get really nervous for interviews? How do you deal with it? I know I’m qualified for the role. I feel confident I’d do well if given an offer. Just scared that I might fudge the interview.

Are you currently employed? If so, just remember If all else fails you still have a job and can keep trying. Just be confident in your ability and the fact that you just need to get through a few set of interviews and you won’t have to go through the process again. Maybe meditate before and clear your mind

Don’t be afraid to miss speak in an interview. Use it to your advantage instead. Correct yourself. Show that even if you do mess up, you can roll with the punches and arn’t afraid to admit it.
Take a lesson from Old Dirty Bastard from the Wu Tang Clan. When he drops a mic during a show, he stops. Picks it up. And says “damn. I even make fucking up look good.”

The best interviews I've had are when I have other offers or am already employed because at the end of the day, I know that if it's not a mutual fit that it wouldn't have been worth it anyway. Go in curious about the job but not desperate for it and you will be more relaxed and confident

Currently in the final stages of the interviewing process for a "non-partnership track attorney" position at a top-ranked big law firm.
