Made final round and was given feedback that when prompted with on the spot questions, I tends to communicate in a less concise and structured manner. Any advice?

The STAR method is always your best friend in interviews. Just google synonyms for the 4 words and start with them so you’re on track (e.g for S - situation, start with “the picture is like to paint” or “the overview of the scenario I was in..”)

Isn't every interview question an "on the spot" question?

I have the same habit. When a question is being asked , I focus on how do I just come up with an answer to it .
I found a solution to this . When asked something random that i have not prepared in interview process , i say I need a minute to structure my thoughts .
And try to answer it in a format what should be your focus in that situation and then what actions would you take to make sure your problem is resolved or was resolved .

When preparing for interviews ,Try to practise giving answer to your self to get structure in the way you speak .
it’s easier said than done , if you are hardwired to answer things like me .

Also I had a question . how long did it take for them to come back after your final interview with the feedback ?

Just tape yellow sticky and write slow down! Always restate the question.

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out.

I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
