It's so difficult these days. I don't know if it's because we know how much competition is out there, but you're not alone, so please don't beat yourself up. We know our crafts well, that doesn't mean we know how to interview well. I actually don't want to be well versed in interviewing because that would mean I've spent more time interviewing then I have working. And sometimes no matter how prepared we are, the nerves get the best of us. I've noticed when I've asked questions to the interviewer, and it's taken them unexpectedly, they've gotten nervous as well. I think what many have lost sight of is that we're human. We're not machines. So I do hope grace was extended to you.
Hoping the best for all of us 🙏🏻
I felt like I get stuck too, no matter how many ways we prepare it seems some how they are going to ask it differently. Tell me about yourself trips me all the time because I want to give a lot of information, which I know overwhelmings the hiring team… I just hate to leave anything out that shows my greatness.
"Take me through your resume" is the most common question asked. In this job market preparing for basic and advanced interview questions is critical.
Freezing in a panel is more common than people admit. For next time, prepare a simple reset phrase like, “Let me take a moment to organize my thoughts,” then move into one STAR example with situation, action, result. Practicing that pause out loud helps a lot. If useful, https://aural-ai.com is an optional way to practice panel-style questions by voice.
Same thing happened to me. The interview happened last week and until now I have not yet receieved feedback from HR. 😂
