QUESTION: Dear Amy - I want to make a career change but I am really intimidated by the prospect of interviewing. What advice do you have? From: Cindy N.

ANSWER: Cindy, you are not alone. Many of my clients want to make a career change but feel anxiety about interviewing. And it's no wonder: you're expected to 1) deliver the sum of your professional and life experience in succinct, relevant anecdotes, 2) explain why you're qualified to do a job you may have never done before and 3) act calm, cool, and collected while doing it.
