To conquer this weakness of mine, I stumbled upon a grand realization. The interviewer is human just like me, Managerial/CEO title or not, still HUMAN. So to remind myself of this, I came up with an ingenious phrase ... "They poo just like I do". Think about it...
if they poo just like you do, how does that make them any different or superior to you? They still have to perform this act which is a humbling and a lowly state.
Anytime I started to feel somewhat nervous I would say this in my head, and then try to hold back my crackling smile. Needless to say, my little trick worked and I aced two back-to-back interviews this morning and I got the job! Here I come ... watch out.

You got the job?? Oh my gosh! You are such a grownup. This post made me happy... Keep up with the updates on your life, I miss you. A trip this summer IS going to happen. It has to.
