Dear Naresh,
I can understand your anxiety and can only assure you that all this is temporary. The only thing which you have allowed to happen is that you have permitted your past interviews to come and haunt you thus degrading your present. It can happen to anyone . So first and foremost, kindly dispel all fears from your mind that you lack in something and do not blame yourself for the same.
As suggested by all much more learned friends above, first is to get your confidence level up. Try doing this:
1. Read about any topic of your interest, prepare a gist
2. Now, when you are free in your room/place of stay, stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eyes and start talking about that topic. Keep your attention on the person looking back at you.
3. On the first go, you may find it a bit awkward, but after a few try's, you will hardly recognize the person looking back at you.
The above exercise will not only make you less self-conscious, but will give a tremendous boost to your confidence and improve your public speaking.
Once you have mastered this part, now start jotting down all probable interview questions and your answers related to your field. If you have a small recorder, feed in the questions one by one. Having done that, sit down at an appropriate time with the recorder and play the first question and stop. Start by answering it yourself. Continue till you have gone through all- with about 5 years of experience, you would be knowing most of the answers. For doubts, I am sure you can consult your friends, seniors etc.
There is no doubt that the more you practice, the smoother will be your flow. Gradually, start twisting these questions as you deem fit and get your answers- you will be surprised at your ingenuity.
In addition to what I have mentioned, follow the guidelines as given by the other members and you shall overcome all hurdles.
Wish you all the best!!
Regards,
Ashok
