Just had a job interview in front of a panel this morning. First time for me.
I've BEEN on panels DOING the interviewing in the past, but I've never been on the receiving end of one.
[Yikes!]
I hope I did well, but I felt both my thick, dumb, Cape Cod accent AND my strangulated stutter start to wake up, all like "Whaaaht's going on?" for the first time in about a decade.
I basically have to force my conscious self to pass out under duress, to allow a more affable, gregarious, loquacious version of me to take over.
The big problem with THAT though, is that guy has NO idea what he's talking about, often, and I rarely remember what he says or is told unless it's written down.
