Back to Interview homepage

This page contains links to some different kinds of material to help you to deal with interview anxiety. There are links to some articles on the web about interview anxiety and techniques for dealing with it. There are tasks to help you analyse these articles and a few of my own ideas. Links to words on the "Cambridge International Dictionary of English" site are marked the (CD) after them, click "Back" in your browser to return to this page.

Probably the first thing to realise about interview anxiety is that it is perfectly natural and normal, indeed I would suggest that you're probably not a very well adjusted person if you don't have some anxiety before an interview. However you don't want it to affect your performance in the interview too much, and there are some techniques you can practise to help. Gaining some understanding is often the first step to dealing with problems, so I hope the information you can access here will help you.
