I found myself struggling with interviews as well. September is the hottest month for the job market historically so put all your effort into this month! I got over my interview hump by giving myself an hour a day for at least three days to prep and making an AI generated study guide. Grabbing interview questions from glassdoor, behavioral questions with actual stories I have, etc. It takes a while to create a study guide that fits for you but once you figure out the formula, it’s easier. I also watched self made millennial on youtube. Kinda hard to watch but gave me good tips/reminders. Practice and study! And most importantly, believe in yourself.

I have the exact same issue. I can prepare and rehearse as much as possible and still can’t shake the nerves heading into the interview. I got laid off in April and have had to go through this whole process again, it’s soul crushing. Two things have helped. The first was my first in-person interview, after having only virtual interviews (with notes and “cheat sheets” as a proxy) going in person was so nerve wracking but I went through it and I think it sort of broke something in me. I got through it for a role that I was maybe 75% qualified for, without my notes, without any helpful prompts, and I was still able to answer and push through the initial nervousness. I didn’t end up getting that role and I’m still job hunting but every interview till then has been a bit easier knowing that I could at least sit there and get through that one interview. The second was getting an online prescription for a beta blocker. Could be a total placebo effect but I think it’s helped me be more calm and in control going into each interview. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ADVICE OR CONDONING ANY MEDICATION USE!! Just a personal anecdote. Everything else is still the same, prepping, researching, rehearsing, getting questions ready, dressing the part, the whole nine yards. You’ve got this!
