Being very nervous during interview....

[SandP]

Hi guys!

I recently had an interview in which I was super nervous in the first interview. I thought the nerves would abate some time or another, but my voice was kind of broken the whole time. All my answers were thought-out and my communication was good, but my interviewer was kind of stoic. In my second interview, I cooled down a bit and the interviewer seemed very positive.

I have the average stats for the school (gpa is a bit higher though). What do you guys think? Did I ruin my chances? How bad is it to sound nervous??

Everyone is nervous to some extent. Don't think about it too much - it probably affected your chances very minimally if at all.

speak slowly, it tends to help.

Don't worry about it, you'll be fine.

Just remember - think before you speak. It's ok to take a 2 second pause to "think" about the question before answering
