Congratulations, it's always nice to hear some good news with all the stress we've been living in. I can imagine how this 8 months was so I really wish you the best of luck in the new job. -

Thanks Everyone,
Definately feels good to be moving forward again. I've felt like life has been on hold since March.
Now I can start scheduling some tests over the next few weeks and wrap up MCITP:EA by spring 2011 -

lol you may find this really bad but
I just never hope for something good lol
every time I go to an interview I'm like I know I wont get this job but, I'll do it anyways".
I do give my best in the interview, but I think not having hopes calm my anxiety.meh -

I just bombed an interview this morning; put on the suit, drove to the office . . . . could not will myself out of the car.
It's embarrassing and abnoxious that I have 10yrs of solid IT experience and have been in far more stressful situations than an interview but somehow a little jitters turns into a major show stopper.
So my question is - how do you deal with interview anxiety?
Not trying to be an ass but it sounds like you may have more serious problems than dealing with anxiety. -

Not at all; it's just a matter of pushing the right buttons. My way of handling this is to think of our 3x year daughter, and that I owe it for her sake to get us all to a better place.
Anxiety can hit anyone and it may call for some perspective. Not always, of course. -

That mindset puts you in a place of calm confidence that helps you mentally and tells the interviewer that you are self assured and interested in the opportunity but not too eager.
Approach it like approaching a beautiful woman for a date? That doesn't calm my nerves in the slightest bit! I think I talk more in interviews than in those situations!

Don't beat yourself up over it too much, nerves get the best of all of us from time to time. Personally, I've had times where I just can't think straight during an interview because I'm uncomfortable for one reason or another. I think the advice given above about going on interviews when you don't NEED a job is spot on since that relieves a ton of the associated pressure....but I know that isn't always possible.
Use it as a learning experience and move on, it's not the end of the world!CISSP, CCSP, CCSK, Sec+, AWS CSA/Developer/Sysops Admin Associate, AWS CSA Pro, AWS Security - Specialty, ITILv3, Scrummaster, MS, BS, AS, my head hurts.
