Nay, look at it as a practice/rehearsal. Now you know where to get better at the next time. You’ll be better at responding and pivoting in the future.

I know i tanked a couple interviews within my panel as i replay the conversations in my head. But it’s all just a practice. You’ll be great!

That’s the attitude I need to take. I didn’t much want the role to begin with. But I still don’t like bombing…

I once interviewed with gum in my mouth cause I was so anxious about having bad breath. The interviewer asked me to spit out my gum half way through. I did not get a call back lol

I’ve been interviewing for about a month now and have gotten considerably better at it. Feel like I could BS my way through anything

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year. Now that I have, are there any sites besides “jobscan” that I can use to make sure my resume fits the job descriptions? Does anybody know any recruiters that could help me, as well?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate so much and feel very lucky to have a job BUT I am losing all the energy and excitement regardles of the project.
