Hi everyone,
I'm due to submit my thesis at the end of this month and on Monday I have an interview for a lecturing job. I've applied for a few posts but this is the only one that I've been shortlisted for. They've send me instructions for the interview that states that I will be required to do a 15 minute micro teach followed by a 45 minute interview. There are 4 other candidates and I'll b the first to do the micro teach and be interviewed. I don't normally get nervous but I'm petrified. I know I'm very fortunate to have been shortlisted considering I have not even been granted my PhD yet and have only one publication but I have taught on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and supervised throughout the 3 years I have been doing the PhD. The nerves have been at bay all week but today I have just felt really anxious and have begun to doubt myself. It feels like imposter syndrome.... I know deep down that I can do the job but I'm worried my self doubts will take over on the day and ruin my chances.
Can you give me any tips or advice on how I might keep my nerves at bay?
