That's kind of the point, start interviewing for practice! I've done it and its totally worth it! You can make a total jackass out of yourself and it doesn't matter because you don't really want that job anyway! AND you can ask the interviewer for feedback about why they didn't pick you. I've done that too! I don't think anyone is just automatically good at interviews, its an uncomfortable process. It may be harder for some of us, but you still can't expect to just know what to do without study and practice. At least that's what I've learned.
Another thing I've learned is you have to have a backup plan just in case your current job doesn't work out. I actually don't have one right now and I think that's why things are getting to me. When you have a backup plan, even if its only an updated resume and a list of places you would like to apply, it gives you confidence. You don't HAVE to take whatever abuse someone dumps on you because of their own inadequacies. Hmmm, I think I'm inspiring myself here! But seriously, I know what this type of situation does to you and its not good! You have the right to have a job where you are not abused everyday. Sometimes you have to fight for you rights!!!
