Put your self in the employers shoes. You want to know what people are actually like and it's hard to get a good feel for the hordes of scripted people, plus it's often the normal people that sticks out. Also, the big fear employers/interviewers often have is simply hiring someone that wont do their job. Might want to keep that in mind. | ||

All jokes aside, I myself am someone who is easily stressed too. BUT, I know why I'm easily stressed and it's cuz I'm pretty perfectionist and I always need my projects to be perfectly well organized. For example: this summer I am the head coordinator for a pretty big summer camp. And if I don't know in advance EVERYTHING that's happening (like which member of my staff is doing what, what happens when, or if I don't have a solution planned for every problem that might possibly happen - missing kid, kid getting sick/hurt, etc.) I stress myself out. Being stressed out is a bad thing, but that also is linked to one of my qualities. So if I were in an interview, instead of saying, "I'm easily stressed out" or "I'm a control freak", I would say, "I'm perfectionist and I like to be overly organized, and that often leads to me being stressed out." (And I would definitely leave out, "I ain't a team player." You know that's a bad side of you so just work that one out on the side.) So think of why you're stressed out. What stresses you? I'm not saying you should lie (don't do that), but you're trying to sell yourself at an interview. Try finding something bad about you that is also related to a good side of you. | ||
