Ngl, I get hella nervous when ppl talk to me in English, my brain just goes blank. 😅 Got an interview coming up, and it’s about some academic stuff I’m not even that familiar with, plus I gotta summarize? Big yikes. What do I do? SOS. 🆘

Hey! We can make that work, although English being my second language, my education has equipped me with some more skills.

Gracia, you can do this!
Practice how you will introduce yourself, that's the first obstacle.
Prepare a few phrases you can say when they ask you a question, to give yourself a little time. Phrases like:
"That's a great question!"
"I'm glad you asked that."
"I'm happy to share my thoughts on that."
You can always say the question back to them, to make sure that you understand what they're asking.
Before you go into the interview, take some time to breathe and stretch your arms out so that you're physically ready to do your best.
