Advice for a Successful Job InterviewFiled Under: ADHD Coaching, ADHD Career Paths
Q:
I don’t do well on job interviews because of anxiety and poor social skills. How can I improve? 
A:
Have your spouse or a friend ask typical job-interview questions—“What have you enjoyed most about your past positions? What strengths would you bring to this job?”—and videotape the “interview.” Once you see yourself on tape, identify areas in which you need to improve. Meanwhile, you may consider a few sessions with an ADHD coach who specializes in social skills or career planning.
