Anxiety is OK, but don't worry too much
Most of the time, the reason why we have anxiety is that we encounter insurmountable problems for ourselves, which cannot be solved, so we will fall into anxiety.
But if you overcome this problem, you will become a better person and your ability will be greatly improved, and this moderate anxiety can inspire people to reflect and progress to some extent.

But once this anxiety is excessive, it will only make people's whole state become very depressed, depression, panic, doubt and other negative emotions will accompany you, and your brain will become dull, unable to think normally, and become a person dominated by emotions,
So, anxiety is OK, but don't overdo it.
How to correctly deal with job anxiety
- Think clearly about these issues
What are your expectations and visions for your future career development? What is your ability composition?
What positions are available in the recruitment market, and what are the requirements and development direction of the positions?
Analyze the optional job positions to see which is more suitable for you and determine what the job objectives are.
For these questions, we should recognize ourselves and think clearly about the core issues in job hunting from the three aspects of understanding ourselves, understanding the market and matching analysis, so that when we have the direction, we can know where to go.

Many anxieties are compared with others.
Everyone wants to be what their parents call "the children of others", but we should know that there are always better people than ourselves. Instead of worrying about why others are so good, we should see what we can learn from in comparison, turn the gap into motivation, and constantly improve ourselves.
- Learn to accept rather than reject
Facing the suitability of your anxiety, don't always think "No, I can't worry" and "I want to get out of anxiety as soon as possible". Learn to accept your anxiety and live with it.

For example, during your interview, some nervousness and anxiety can mobilize more energy to add a little pressure to you, which can make you prepare for the interview more carefully and turn this pressure into motivation.
