Hey guys. I have an upcoming final round in person and I get extremely anxious sometimes and sweat on my forehead a good amount. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with anxiety during in person interviews?

It's hard to fight anxiety, especially for an interview. What you can do is trying to appear less anxious:
imagine your interviewer is naked
Nobody is out to get you.
They either like you or they don't really care about you. Take solace in that.
The person who is interviewing you knows you are nervous. A normal human being isn't going to hold that against you. If you made it to the final round, they like you enough to offer you the job. If they thought you were a weirdo or an idiot, you wouldn't have made it this far.
Make sure your palms are dry and try to take deep breaths. You got this.
Get a doctor to prescribe you a beta blocker. They're like temporary cheat codes for life.
This isn't a sustainable solution if you have major anxiety every day, but it can work in a pinch without any downsides.
I agree with this. I went through a period of intense anxiety & panic attacks after being laid off many years ago and it was awful. My eyes would get red and water, palms would get sweaty, faster breathing, nausea etc. Pretty miserable when you're trying to interview.
My doc prescribed me Propranolol and it helped immensely for interviews and important presentations. I don't use it much anymore, but would recommend it if you're having a hard time.
