First of all, well done for taking the plunge and applying for the job….make sure to keep us posted how you get on… I can relate to your sense of panic mode….the phone has filled me with dread many many times before Thoughts that come to mind…. Prep questions and answers…remind yourself what you would like to say to a range of expected questions..best to anticipate What are your strengths? As a person, as a potential employee Try to focus on effective communication, not fluency Remember you are more than your speech, it is a part of you, it doesn’t define you Would you consider disclosing your challenges with your speech from the outset, thereby alleviating pressures to be fluent….just a thought but I would urge you to consider this. I disclosed mine before at interview and it helped enormously. I do appreciate easier said than done. I did get the job though. Some deep breathing or meditation before to settle the nerves… Hope this helps somewhat
