Shoutout to the person who told me to do mock interviews

I used to just wing job interviews, show up and hope my experience spoke for itself. After bombing 3 in a row last year, a friend made me practice with her for an hour on Zoom. Recording myself was cringey but I caught how I kept saying 'um' and trailing off on answers. Now I do 2 mock runs before any big interview and it's cut my nerves way down. Has anyone else tried recording themselves to prep?

Oh man, recording yourself is brutal but it works. Watching my own rambling made me actually prepare better. Definitely a must try for anyone nervous about interviews.

So true, watching your own rambling is painful but eye opening. It really forces you to tighten things up.
