Anxiety makes job hunting a severe struggle. I'd highly suggest people take the time to see a health professional if their anxiety is holding them back and affecting their day to day life.

For me what has helped (though not eliminated) my social anxiety is a mix of therapy, an anxiety medication that's commonly used for social anxiety, and practicing interviewing and conversation in safer environments.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Ami! Anxiety makes everything much more difficult, but I'm glad to hear you're managing it. 🙂
