Freaking out about Job Interviews

I'm desperately trying to find summer work at the moment and I've managed to get an interview with two of the places that I applied at, which is pretty encouraging considering I only just started looking.

The first interview is tomorrow afternoon and I'm actually feeling pretty calm right now, but a small part of me, at the back of my mind, is already worrying that I'm going to massively freak out right before the interview. I've never had an actual job before so this is all unfamiliar territory for me. I also know from past experience, with music solos and exams, that I am very good at getting very nervous. And I have the unfortunate habit of getting all monosyllabic, cold and aloof when I'm nervous.

I would really appreciate prayer for this. That I'll be able to keep my cool in the interviews and that I'll be able to find work. I really need the money for next fall, when I start 2nd Year in Design. Thanks ^_^

I will be praying for you. I also have the same problem right now, I have been searching for weeks to get a job, I applied one place and didn't get a response sense. Also on top of that I never had a real job, but good luck with it. I really need a job also for next semester. :(

Thank you both so much ^_^

I managed to not spaz out during the interview and their having me come back for training at 11 AM tomorrow morning! I got hired!! So now I just have to get through the training, the initial week of being confused and the whole unfamiliar fish outta water feeling. I'll be working in the bakery department at a grocery store, which isn't exactly a glam career, but I'm just extremely grateful for the job. Plus, it's only a couple of blocks from my home, which is handy. Anyways, I seem to be rambling here.

I will definitely be praying for both of you, and I'm sure you'll be able to find work eventually. Just keep sending out the applications and try not to let it get you down if you don't hear back from people. God bless!

Congrats, Lizardqueen! Welcome to the working world. XD;; Now, I'm in a different situation: I'm depending on my school to let me go so that I can move on to a new job already waiting for me. Wish me luck at my final examination this Wed.

I'll say a quick prayer for those who are looking for jobs as well. It can be really tough. *nods*
