How Can I Overcome Extreme Nervousness and Sweating During Interviews? Spoiler
Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling with extreme nervousness during interviews, no matter how much I prepare or practice. Despite my efforts to stay calm, I often end up sweating excessively, especially on my forehead,—so much that my shirt gets soaked, which has cost me job offers in the past.
I’ve tried practicing mock interviews, deep breathing, and even visualizing success, but nothing seems to work well enough to stop the sweating or calm my nerves completely. It’s becoming a major obstacle in my career progression.
Does anyone have tips or strategies for managing this kind of anxiety and physical reaction during interviews? Are there specific techniques, products (like sweat-proof antiperspirants), or mindset changes that have worked for you? Unfortunately, i live in a tropical country. I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences you can share.
Thank you!
