Job interview tips for someone with severe social anxiety?
So by some miracle I’ve managed to land an interview for a retail assistant role at a local supermarket. I’m 25 and have been unemployed for roughly seven years now. I’m very awkward and introverted, but I really want this job because I can’t bear the thought of being a NEET much longer. Any advice on the kind of questions they ask for this sort of role and how to respond confidently? The interview is said to last only 15 minutes is that helps. Thanks.

Jerk off a couple hours before and have a shot of vodka on the way.

Drink a beer before going then brush your teeth or something to get rid of the smell.

First things first Anon. Imagine if the person you're talking to is beneath you, okay? Don't treat him like a total piece of shit but imagine him as your third most hated enemy.
Second, imagine if he was that enemy but also naked, like not butt naked but underwear naked. Give him some embarrassment.
Third, write a script and look up possible interview questions, put those questions in the script and write what your answers would be. Make sure it's something that sounds good, okay? Okay.
Even if you fail the interview, just know that what you went through is basically trial and error, yknow, not everybody gets the job and these days the competition is ridiculous.

prepare the types of questions they might ask on and answer them yourself like a psycho and try to get the answers rated by llm if needed. then practice in any way to reduce the anxiety and say less than what you want to say if you have a habit of yapping. also speak with a cadence the second you go too fast you become anxious and overshare. These things really helped me in the same exact boat.

ridiculous advice. it's a fucking supermarket job you don't need any "strategy" or studying answers like it's a fucking exam, just have basic common sense and you'll be fine

scout out the supermarket first in a disguise and report your findings back to the thread. Did you see any people like yourself? Like if all the cashiers are fat black ladies and you're not you won't get the job. You can tell who they hire just by looking.

You'll be surprised by the amount of bullshit questions you have to go through just to get hired.

One trick that works for me is making rapport before the interview questions start because if you're a likable person your lack of experience can be overlooked.
