Had a phone interview with an HM yesterday. Stumbled over my words and poorly articulated my answers. Is there anything I can do, or will doing something call more attention to it?

Hard to say. If you care about the contact/role OR it's bothering you then pick up the phone, say you felt you didn't represent your best self and ask for another shot. They will probably say no, but then you tried and it's not on you.

Chin up, we all do it. Take note of the mistakes you made and learn from them.

It is smart to throw in some throw away interviews to catch your stride before you get to the ones you want. Best of luck to you.

Send a post interview thank you note and say something like "I hope I communicated my excitement about the job well! I can't wait to get started/learn more etc". Use it as a second chance to briefly reaffirm the points you think you didn't say well on the phone, but don't call out mumbling unless she complained about it specifically in the call, or you'll come off as weird and insecure.

Thanks 🐟!

Keeping it to myself?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
