My first job interview

Karma

Hello. 

I'm Karma. I was diagnosed with autism when I was six. I received a lot of help and support in my childhood though things quickly got more difficult during my teens with the added pressure of puberty and high school.

Tough times lol.

I'm finding life increasingly difficult now and my anxiety feels like it's at an all time high. I've been practicing yoga in the hopes this will help. 

My dad is very pressuring and he's been on at me to try and get out of the house and make some friends and try to live a normal life. So I have a job interview this Friday. I've never attended a job interview before and I'm feeling very anxious about it. My thoughts are racing with the what ifs and what it'll be like. 

Have you ever had an interview? If you have it would be great if you could share any tips you have here please.

Thanks so much.

    Comgrats on your last interview! It must have been nice knowing the person. I wish I knew who was going to be interviewing me.

    I was hoping for a virtual interview, still stressful but a lot better than a face to face one.

    I've been practicing with myself in the mirror though that's not really been a lot of help.

    It's only reassured me that I'm rubbish at socialising, with others; and myself. Rolling eyes 

    My dad and I aren't exactly "close" so I'm going to see if my mum will do some practicing with me.

    Thank you for the great suggestion. Much appreciated!
