EFT tapping script: Nervous Before an Interview

Use this session before a job, school, or media interview when nerves are making it harder to think clearly.

Tap gently with two fingers, about seven times on each point. Say each phrase out loud or quietly in your head. There's no perfect way to do it.

Round 1: Say what's true

1. Side of handI feel nervous about this interview.
2. Top of headI want them to like me.
3. EyebrowI am afraid I will go blank.
4. Side of eyeI keep imagining difficult questions.
5. Under eyeMy body feels ready for danger.
6. Under noseThis opportunity matters to me.
7. ChinI am putting so much pressure on myself.
8. CollarboneI can admit I feel uncertain.
9. Under armI have been carrying these nerves all day.

Take one easy breath. Notice whether anything has shifted, even slightly. If nothing has changed yet, that’s completely okay. Keep breathing, and we’ll continue.

Round 2: Soften it

1. Side of handI can make room for these nerves.
2. Top of headI do not need every answer to be perfect.
3. EyebrowI can take a breath before I speak.
4. Side of eyeI can answer one question at a time.
5. Under eyeMy body is allowed to settle.
6. Under noseI can let my experience support me.
7. ChinAn interview is a conversation, not a test of my worth.
8. CollarboneI can be curious about them too.
9. Under armI can make more room for confidence.

Take another slow breath. Notice what feels different now. You do not need the feeling to disappear. See if there is simply a little less pressure, or a little more choice in how you meet this moment.

Round 3: Choose what's next

1. Side of handI am ready to show up as myself.
2. Top of headI can speak clearly and take my time.
3. EyebrowI trust the experience I bring.
4. Side of eyeI can recover if I lose my place.
5. Under eyeI can stay present in my body.
6. Under noseMy voice deserves space.
7. ChinThe right fit does not require perfection.
8. CollarboneI am prepared, capable, and grounded.
9. Under armI am ready to begin.
