a Drug to settle nerves before job interview..

[Gettinbig2]

What would be the best chocie to take to mellow me out before a job interview uupcoming. My first choice would be a drink or 2, but I"m worried that even with only one or two mixed drinks that you would be able to smell it on me. Even with a shower and brushing your teeth a few times.. do y'a;ll think there would be any smell of it.
Other than a drink or 2, what would be a good pill to pop to mellow me out a few hours before the interview, thanks.

vodka usually doesn't have a smell.

or try a valium....maybe half a valium....

Im thinking Vodka would be ok.. .of course I'm not drinking but a little bit... 2 drinks at the most... but if there is ANY chacne it could be noticed I dont wanna even take that small chance.

Smoke a joint! hahahahaha ... joking. Dude ... just mentally prepare yourself. Think that it is gonna be nothing and know your shit good. Think that it is there loss if they dont get you.

Most importantly ... ASK THEM questions. Make it a 2 way interview. When you ask them questions, regarding the job and the questions that they are asking you, it will put them on the spot a little and turn the tables a bit. It seems like a 2 way communication then, and less of a grilling towards you.

Good luck ... whatcha applying for?

A guy that used to work in my office was an alcoholic and his drink of choice was Vodka. I don't know where the theory comes from that you can't smell it, but you could smell him from down the hall. If you know what your doing( job wise) then you should have no problems, it's natural to be nervous just keep yourself composed and you'll be fine..

I wouldn't take a thing.......as TH said, it's natural to be nervous and that'll pass in the first minute or so of the interview....

I read somewhere that dark chocolate is good to eat before an interview. Small amount of caffeine to increase alertness and there's somethign settlign in the dark cocoa.

I agree with Mavy's good advice, ask questions and don't allow them to entirely control the situation. I've been through many, many professional interviews over the years, and I've worked for some real tyrannical assholes. Don't be intimidated, if they see you cower, you're finished because they will own you from here on out and you'll never be respected or able to negotiate anything from them.

Remember, you're interviewing them as well and deciding IF you want to work for them.

Good Luck!

How about this drug: Confidence, belief in yourself, and the energy to show it off.

Definetly do NOT have a drink or two before the interview.

If you feel like you really have to take something (a lot is psychological, or placebo) take 0.5mg xanex.
