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've had interviewers tell me quite a few times that I am a likable person and they enjoyed talking with me. Feeling pretty down :(

3. Autonomy to build out a department.
