Job Interviews - a very public torture

Just recovering from having a job interview. And recovering is the word! 

As you may know I already have a job but I saw an ad for soemthing I was really interetsed in. I spend a day cramming interview skills and I wasn't prepared enough even if I were not autistic.

Now I am trying to stay positive as I at least did have something to say.... but it was such a trainwreck of an interview and now I'm here with insomnia because I keep relieving how awful it was. I am going through all my responses and just thinking OMG why on earth did I say that. I know there's something about being yourself.... but what was I thinking.

It's not so much about not getting the job... as there are other reasons not to accept the role even if they offered it to me. It is the fact that it feels like a very public humiliation! I'm just hoping that everyone on the interview panel is also autistic and didn't notice about how badly my repsonses were. But I don't think that is how managment tends to be.

Has anyone used the NAS support for interview skills?

I'm just hoping that someone on the forum can relate and tell me that it can just be how it is. I know that the adbvice is often to get work through other techniques such as through being known for a good worker. And I guess this is how I have managed to get to being in work. But I just feel awful inside.

  • If you have a Health care plan as a result of a needs assessment it will allow you to access the employment team of adult social services which can help you find sustainable work and help with interviews. I am saying this from experience that their help actual works unlike the Shawtrust and other insane health and work programmes.
