Group interview

I have to re-apply for my own job this year, it's only a waitressing job too which is very annoying and I've been trying to psych myself up for the interview next week and just found out they've changed the format from individual interviews (which are bad enough) to 'group exercises'... Oh dear help!! Last time I was at a job (it was a freelance art job and was actually what I was wanting to do with my life) and they wanted to play 'get to know you' games, I was shaking all through the first game and could barely move and talk and when they started the second game I walked out the room and went back to my desk to carry on with work. I can't exactly do that in an interview. I even avoid apply for jobs that I know will group interview. I'm also self diagnosed so can't explain to them why it's so difficult. I can't even get myself to ring the woman back with my availability because I'm terrified of talking on the phone.

any advice on getting through a group interview? Has anyone been through one before? I don't even know what to expect!

  • never heard anything like that before - seems like an excuse to get rid of people if you ask me or keep them on their toes, why an interview ? surely they can judge through your work...some employers are getting away with all kinds these days, zero hour contracts, trying to get people to work as self employed so they don't have to pay holidays/sick and redundancy or do their paye,or pay for breaks, trying to pay low wages by calling it an internship etc..
