Affirmations for a job interview

Interviews compress a lot into thirty minutes, and nerves mostly show up as speed: fast answers, thin breath, agreeing before you have finished thinking.

These lines are for the waiting room. They will not write your answers, but a steadier voice and a half-second pause before replying change how the same answers land.
