Job Interview Questions: I'm afraid to tell people about my job interview in case I don't get the job?

I have a job interview with Google next week (via phone), and I'm really nervous and would love some guidance and support from my family. However, I'm too scared to tell them about it in case I don't get the job. I guess I'm just one of those people that's really reserved and easily embarrassed, so I'll feel really stupid in front of everyone if they all know I failed. Is this a normal feeling? What should I do?

Job Interview Answers That Lead to Success

Recommended Answer:
Even if you don't get the job your family will probably be proud of you for trying so I say there's no good reason not to tell them. Not getting the job doesn't mean you are a failure. Often in life we have a few false starts on the way to success.

And maybe you'll get the job so any embarrassment would be a moot point.

• That's a completely normal feeling. You're worried that they'll view you as a failure if you don't get it, right? Well think about it this way: their support could help you feel more calm and confident when you take the interview. Say you take it and don't tell them, and sadly don't get it, then what would you do then? It'd be much better to tell them. Since they're your family and you feel that they could give you guidance and support, they understand. They know how wonderful you are, and won't judge you if you don't get the job. During a recession, it's very hard to get a job, so many people have to go through with this. But, don't worry about it before you go in! Get the guidance/support you need, and be confident. Confidence is key after all.
