Hey.

I'm quite similar to you, in that phone calls give me a lot of anxiety, so I definitely know what you're going through. The others have already given you some tips to deal with that, so I'll just add a little bit: don't think too far ahead. It's easy to get caught up in a cycle of 'what ifs' and 'what thens' and then end up talking yourself out of doing something. Calling up doesn't mean you'll definitely get an interview, so there's no sense in worrying about that yet. Just focus on making the actual call, and deal with whatever happens later. Besides, once you do make the call, it might give you the confidence you need to get through any applications or interviews you might get.

Take things one step at a time, and remember to breathe.

Good luck!
