Pending Interview


Hello! I have an interview coming up on Thursday afternoon and I still don’t have my presentation completed yet. I go between wanting to just get it done and wanting to do more research. Research feels necessary because I want to have good reasons for the items in my presentation and I want to have a very good presentation. The flip side is that I still have no presentation put together yet and I’m getting nervous that I haven’t practiced it. My brain also has the thought that I could just do the presentation to get experience even if it doesn’t mean a job. I keep blaming the presentation for stressing me out, spinning in confusion, going over my time I give to preparing the presentation, spending so much time researching etc. It feels necessary to do all this research because I don’t want to appear to be stupid or not know what I am talking about in the presentation. How do I go all in but not beat myself up in the process? I think that where the thought – I could just do the presentation to get experience even if it doesn’t mean a job – comes in. I’m also afraid of them judging me and my ideas that I come up with. I’m afraid of being embarrassed and ashamed. I’m also trying to go to the place where the interview with presentation is over. It feels like relief because it’s over. My brain just wants me to get out of the presentation. Do I do it anyway even if I’m not very prepared? On top of it, I feel like my ideas are not great. HELP!
