I hate interviews so much. Not only are they stressful, as a high functioning autist sometimes I just lose train of thought. I faked a connection error today but the interviewer probably saw through it. I try to prepare so much but the interviewer throws curve balls and I’m like how tf do I respond? I just hate it I’m a good worker just have terrible interview skills

I want to tell anyone who’s feeling the interview burnout or defeat, to stay encouraged! I’d been actively applying and interviewing for 5 months but couldn’t land anything. Interviewing made me nervous, sweaty, and completely blank or lose my train of thought. I bettered my interview skills, specifically catered towards the interview questions I was hearing on a regular basis. I interviewed with 12 different companies and 25 interviews later, I FINALLY landed the job with the company I wanted!

I have been interviewing for about two months now and have gotten interviews at about 10 different companys. I always make it through the process till a final round interview however I never receive an offer. I feel as though my interview skills are good. I am just wondering if this is normal or am I doing something terribly wrong to not of received an offer yet. I've had interviewers tell me quite a few times that I am a likable person and they enjoyed talking with me. Feeling pretty down :(

I want to exit into the crypto/web3 space more than anything. My biggest passion area and I would love to leverage my 3 YOE in cyber consulting to do it.

I’m not necessarily super technical. Had my first interview for an exchange and got turned down sadly. Idk if it was my interview skills or my lack of technical cyber knowledge.
