Not quite sure what to say about this one. Has anyone else suffered from a similar type of phobia?

This one seems like a nightmare to me! If you are struggling to make ends meet, short of money and effectively unable to live a life, employment would be one of the best ways to escape. So, if you are unable to attend job interviews because of your phobia I really don't know where you would go from there.

While I have suffered anxiety and panic attacks in the past thankfully this has not impacted my ability to attend job interviews. This must be a terrible situation to be in especially with the pressure of everyday life and the ever-growing number of bills to pay.

You're putting yourself in a situation where you're opening yourself up to judgement, potential rejection and failure. Some anxiety is pretty much to be expected.

Good point Andy - a headline like this can impact the flow of different opinions.
