  Case: Interview Jitters
I am getting ready for an interview and I tend to stutter and repeat myself when I get nervous. Any tips or suggestions for calming interview jitters?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I recommend practicing as much as you can. To calm jitters, you can look up some typical questions a prospective teacher can be asked during the interview and think about your response to each question. It can also be beneficial to ask another person to act as the interviewer and ask the questions to you as a mock interview. Sometimes, I get the jitters when I start to respond and feel I've thought of a better answer halfway through. Before you respond to the question, I find it super helpful to take a moment and think about how I would like to word my response.
