Had to retake a mock interview for my communications class. The difference between both instances are so vast that it surprised everyone in the class.
The first time, I was on E2 and I became a stuttering mess. I was so nervous that i literally choked on air in front of the interviewers and the whole class. Even the discussion went haywire.
Second time, I felt this incredible calm despite knowing it is inprov. Me and a couple of people went outside and waited for each of us to come in. Everyone around me was very nervous and I oddly wasn't at all. It was so strange even to me. I kept saying "I should be nervous but I'm not. What is going on?". I felt this incredible calmness and neutrality.
When it was my turn, I approached the mock interviewers and it felt incredibly natural. All the guidelines in terms of mannerisms are remembered and executed. The questions were answered smoothly with relativity small hiccups. The professor threw in quick questions but it didn't faze my flow at all. Sure my voice projection isn't the best but that's how I am. The surprise question, intended to throw people off because if the potential for random questions, didn't faze at all. I actually gave a really professional answer. The professor gave me big points on mannerisms.
I think the sub cleared out the blockages that helped me with high stress situations.
Edit: who can forget about eye contact? Eye contact was solid. Multiple interviewers? Yep still solid eye contact.
