Job searching as well, but I've never even been to an interview (for a job, I've been to other things), and it scares me quite a bit. Mostly because I'm never comfortable in such situations, though I've learned to just relax, sit in a good pose, smile and keep "normal" eye contact.

Beyond that, my biggest problem is due to my brain and inability to make small talk. I've always been a "slow" person. If someone asks me a question that requires a somewhat thought-out answer... it can take me a few minutes to say something. Usually filled with "Uhm" and "Ahs". Imagine this through my school life and you see the problem. Extremely annoying and embarrassing. Questions like the above "After 5 years..." is a death sentence.

Random drop of thoughts, but I find the thread interesting so.
