I use anon on /biz/ as a reference.

I too have anxiety and my solution is both simple and ingenious: hire someone else to do the job interview.

Then show up on day 1 and pretend you're the same guy. Some people might notice but just act like they're crazy and they'll shut up pretty quickly.

Don't stress op

Anxiety really fucked me up during my interview (still got the job), and in hindsight, there was nothing to worry about.

They're excited to meet you and learn more about you. Use this as an opportunity to learn about them as well, don't just think about selling yourself.

It's not like they're gonna call your references on speakerphone in the middle of the interview either. That's definitely nothing to worry about

Some companies call and some don't OP. There's no way to know. I've lied about work history majorly and got jobs because they didn't check.

When I applied for my last job before my current one, I put on the job application that I worked at a company before that for 14 years (that I never worked at ever). When they hired me, they said they hired me over other people because of "my longevity" at the previous company. . . . .LOL. I ended up working at that job for 5 years

I knew I could count on you guys. I will get the job for you. Thank you for the motivation and believing in me, you're like the positive friends and family I never had. Please give any additional tips I should know if you have them.

If you got the interview, they probably didn't find out. What, you think they'll call you over and waste their time just to say "AHA! Got you! You lied on your resume!"

Usually they check after a successful interview.
