'I hadn't been given all the information I needed…when the interviewer started to grill me, I got confused and wanted the ground to swallow me up!'

'I couldn't stop my left leg from tapping and I didn't know what to do with my hands. I got so wound up about how I looked on screen, I completely blanked.'
