How does stop feeling so self-concious whilst working in a newspaper company?
Try and enjoy the work experience more as you want to get a feel what it’s like to be in a working environment. Don’t feel that you will sound stupid, as chances are the people working around you are probably busy with their own tasks and deadlines to complete. It will be hectic as it’s a newspaper company. But try to enjoy it a bit more if you’re struggling with what to say maybe you could pop in a bit early and if there is anyone there you can talk to them and ask for some tips about speaking on the phone. Or jot down questions in a notepad to ask the person when you’re doing the phone interview, if the person who’s supposed to your boss asks what it is, they can see that you’ve used your initiative and will be impressed!
