   Written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa

その代わりまた鴉がどこからか、
たくさん集ってきた。
昼間見ると、その鴉が何羽となく輪を描いて、
高い鴟尾のまわりを啼きながら、
飛びまわっている。
ことに門の上の空が、
夕焼けであかくなる時には、
それが胡麻をまいたように はっきり見えた。
鴉は、勿論、門の上にある死人の肉を、
啄みに来るのである。――もっとも今日は、
刻限が遅いせいか、一羽も見えない。
ただ、所々、崩れかかった、
そうしてその崩れ目に長い草のはえた
石段の上に、鴉の糞が、
点々と白くこびりついているのが見える。
下人は七段ある石段の一番上の段に、
洗いざらした紺の襖の尻を据えて、
右の頬に出来た、大きな面皰を気にしながら、
ぼんやり、雨のふるのを眺めていた。

Why people are afraid of taking interviews?

Here is a quote I found from a person - sharing their feelings about taking an interview...

I'm afraid of interviews and getting a job and having to interact with coworkers
I'm an adult but I feel like a baby. I don't have any social skills or any skills. Having to go to interviews and interact with coworkers sounds like a nightmare. I can't do this adult thing. I can't function in this --- world. I don't know what to do. I can't get help because it's too scary to speak about my problems with a stranger. I feel like I wasn't meant to be in this world. 

and this is a native speaker... certainly, the person might be starting out but my point was to illustrate to you that you are not alone...

In this podcast I share ways how you can overcome it - strategical approach you can follow to help you ace your interview.

And I offer 1-1 private coachinng/consulting classes, come and see me.

To Your Success,
Anatoly
