How to overcome fear?
Hello gentlemen!
I am 19 years old, I studied HTML / CSS / JS and various goodies (Gulp, Jquery, Sass, Es6, Bootstrap, Materialize) on my own. I know how to type well, I know well (theoretically) JS (data structures, closures, scope, OOP, prototypes, classes, etc.), I can do some kind of algorithmic task, guess the number game, etc. In order to learn how to do something, I want to get a job as a trainee front-end developer, but there is a fear that there will be a hard failure or I will be hired, and I will not know how to cope with the first task that comes across.
So guys, how to actually overcome fear and go to an interview, and have you had this?
PS Please do not throw stones)

1. Hiring a newcomer, the employer never expects from him the ability to cope with the first task completely on his own. There is a trial period, no one bans you from Google, no one forces you to work alone on a project. In a technical interview, you will be asked enough questions to see if you have enough technical knowledge to work, or to figure it out.
2. Your fear is much more dangerous than lack of qualifications. Because if you are afraid to show a lack of knowledge, it may then manifest itself that you will be afraid to show your work, you will be afraid to say that you are not keeping up with the deadline, which ultimately can result in a deadline failure. And you don't need to be afraid. Fear usually comes from the unknown. So do not be afraid to destroy this uncertainty - ask directly - who will be the curator, who to contact if you feel that you do not understand the task, or if you do not have time on time, and contact.
This is not an institution where they want to fill you up. This is a job where, apart from you, the whole team works for the result, and it doesn’t matter to the customer who exactly will complete the task - you yourself, or you with help. Here is an unfulfilled task in general - it is important on whom to blame sins.
3. The first job received at the first interview is a very rare thing. The longer you are afraid of the first interview, the longer you will not get to the second, third, tenth and finally the very one where you will be taken. An interview is not only to find out what you do not know, it is also to find out what is generally done in a position of interest to you in a company of interest to you.
