U should listen and give him constructive feedback. Only you can give him the hard talk.

Toughest person to receive feedback from me is my wife

So how did he convince you to marry him?

Share with him what you just shared above... about oversharing, shooting himself in the foot, not sharing his value (even if not asked, finding ways to share his value). The fillers will go away once he gains confidence in his responses. I was terrible too.. am not good... but am much better after building my confidence. Am still building it. 😊

If your talk with him is truly from the tight place, he should not feel insecure...

Good luck... ps. You need to help him... there's a reason why YOU are the one witnessing what's happening...

Urge him to do more practice interviews with his best friend. Then you're not the one giving the feedback.

Omg I went through this recently too. I was practicing with a guy I'm seeing and I really was about to get the ick. But practicing with me did help him loosen up and we tighrened up his answers

One idea would be to listen to podcasts while you have your headphones on.

Find a way to casually suggest he record the interview (otter is good app for that) and review for opportunity to “optimize/improve”. The way an athlete would review tape of a game or a fumble.

He may identify those same issues himself that way.

So I know I’m bad and I purposely don’t practice with friends, family or my spouse because i have an ego and it’s not an indicator of my abilities. Instead, I try and set up mock interviews with complete strangers that way I don’t have any judgements placed on me. Tell him to look up interviewing resources and communities that help with mock interviewing.

Shouldn’t you tell him?

I've pointed out a couple things, but really think about how you'd handle hearing "You're so bad at interviews I can't stand to listen to you" from your significant other
