2. Learn to recognize when it will come and anticipate its arrival with excitement. Without it, you are flat, beaten, dejected. Wait for it to come, welcome it, and view it as your body’s ally to focus yourself on job search situation. Have your anxiety stay close to you, forcing you to be aware of your surroundings and ready to express your thoughts and feelings to a potential employer with enthusiasm and energy.

3. Talk to your anxiety as if with an old friend. Look at it as your best personal source of familiarity, camaraderie and support. Let it work for you, not against you and you have not only tamed beast but have created a more enjoyable and positive environment for yourself. Your self-doubts will always linger but they are at a manageable level where you can calmly push them into background while you concentrate on making a great self-presentation.

After a short amount of practice, you will find yourself almost in a panic before anxiety arrives because you need that charge of energy to get you going and move you forward. Try it and see if it works for you.
