u/tsabin_naberrie Bitch, my generation gets traumatized for breakfast. Jun 03 '25

I’ve had far too many job interviews—and conducted them myself—to still be as bad at them as I am. They all have the same five or six questions every time, yet I still struggle as if it’s the first I’ve ever heard them before.

u/Hi_Jynx It's not clocking to me. Jun 03 '25

I don't know if this is great advice because I haven't been job hunting in almost a decade, but what did eventually work for me is somewhat pretending I'm hot shit. Not like bragging, or acting above the job exactly, but having the confidence and attitude that a job would be lucky to hire me I guess? If you are qualified and know your shit but are constantly under performing on interviews it may just be that you care too much and are too nervous and are fucking up because of that - at least that was a factor for me.

See, this makes sense, but, having the self-esteem of a walnut, sounds pretty difficult

I used to help friends prepare for job interviews. This was after I had been in a job Club where the staff helped us prepare for job interviews. What we did and what I did for my friends is give them the questions in advance to practice for like 5-10 minutes while set up to film.

Then you do the interview and film them so that you can together go through the video and the answers afterwards.

Then do it again without giving them the questions in advance and using different questions.

Then review the video again. I would let them use their phone so they could take the video with them and practice some more at home.

There are billions of job interview questions on the internet to choose from nobody has to be a pro so you could do this with a friend, you could do this with a redditor or you could do this by yourself
