Hi the other day I emailed a day nursery as I am wanting to do a childcare course and gain my qualification. About 10 mins ago the nursery I email had rang me saying asking me a few questions and wanting me to go down and see her at after 4:00pm the thing is I am really nervous and I dont want my nerves to get the better of me as I will then start thinking what about if they dont like me there or the people I work with take the mick out of me or something and what if I cant do the job they are asking, etc and then I just end up a nervous wreck and it effecta the whole thing. Does anyone have any good advice for me to not worry so much as I really want to get my qualifications. Help,
Thanks for your answers.

okay - deep breath.
You sound really keen to work in this field and therefore that enthusiasm will come through. You need to write down all the reasons you like childcare and want the job or training and you will calm down.
If you work there and you are unsure, they have all been in that position and you won't be the first person to ask questions. They will respect you more for asking that attempting something which they have to fix. You'll learn everything really quickly and you will be absolutely fine.
Its Corny but never be ashamed to be who you are and if your not sure its fine.
Good luck, take care and best wishes

Relax and ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.
You will only achieve what you are capable of so if you are sure of yourself and your qualifications then it will show in any situation. Think of an interview as a way of talking about your ambitions with someone who has the same ideas as you. Interviewers are only people who have gone through what you are experiencing now. Imagining someone in an embarrassing state can help you put other people in their place. Things like sitting on the toilet or being caught picking at their nose are examples of what I mean. Good Luck. I think you will achieve what you want. X

Just be yourself & they'll know you are a genuine person & that you are keen to get your qualifications. Try not to build the whole thing up in your head first as this only puts more pressure on you. Don't forget that the lady will know that it's normal to be worried when going for an interview. Good luck.

If you want the qualifications badly enough you have just got to go there and be yourself, they will understand that you are nervous and as for not liking the oter people or vice versa, they are there for the same reason you want to be there, to do a job they enjoy so chances are you will get on fine with them and probably make some new friends. good luck

You will be fine! Believe in yourself! You can do anything and the fact that you want such a demanding job proves that you are one in a million! Being nervous is natural and if you weren't then they would probably not want you as you would appear too up yourself!!! Relax! Breathe! Good luck and remember, each person there went through exactly what you are going through once! They will know how you feel.

stop worrying so much. in every effect worry only puts you at a disadvantage. it negatively affects you by making you think believe you wont get what you set out for. be prepared by asking yourself simple questions that are likely to come up and answering them. more or less talk yourself through an imaginary interview. a good way to get a bit of confidence when you're stuck for time is to look your best, stand in the mirror smile and say to yourself (outloud) "I CAN do this. I'm Gonna get this job. This is MY job". may make you feel a bit silly at first but believe me its a good pick me up and it works... at least for me.
all the best

Just have your questions ready on what you want to ask them.They will be aware of your being nervous, most eople are. take a deep breath and relax. I am sure they will like you and besides your going there for your love of looking after young children not whether they will like you or not. Be positive and have faith in yourself. Beat of luck
