Drink for Phone Interview [anxiety]
    #21916182 - 07/08/15 06:04 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I got a phone interview tomorrow, and sometimes with authority figures I completely lock up. I have done a mock interview with friends and still don't really ace it. From what I've been told, this guy wants a friendly conversation about the stuff I know. When I get anxious, I start talking buzz words and not really able to fully articulate my thoughts.

I've considered Xanax before hand, but it doesn't really affect me in a way that I think will help. I do become more social and easily converse when I have drank a few beers.

I wonder if it would be bad to get a slight buzz before the phone interview to ensure I nail it and keep conversation flowing in a friendly way. I've already aced the face to face interview and just need to talk my way past the CEO now. Any suggestions?

If you think it'll help you, I think it would be okay to do it just this one time. Problem is, if it does work, and you do well, you're going to want to start taking shots/drinking beers for future obstacles you come across in your career. Just don't become dependent on it.

Then again, it might be better for you to learn how to get around the barriers that stand in your way drug-free. This would be the best option for you in the long run tbh.

If you really cannot fathom to do this phone interview without a buzz, then go ahead.

Do it. Just make sure you aren't slurring your words or anything. :laugh:
