If it’s a video or phone interview I take a shot 10 minutes before start time, loosens me up and helps me to be less in my head. Hate encouraging alcohol use to anyone, but it’s always worked for me
HAHA I wonder how many people do this. Does sound kind of useful.
Booze lowers inhibitions, that’s not always a good thing, but in a situation where you really want to impress it’s not uncommon to be stiff and visibly nervous, which is counterproductive. Smoothing that edge a bit when the situation calls for is using alcohol as a tool, just remember any tool can be dangerous if used improperly
Hate alcohol but some klonopin an hour or two before is magical. I swear it's been the reason I've gotten offers. CBD tincture or a joint with like 9:1 CBD:THC can also do wonders.
Wow this might actually really help me.
