One weird thing has been happening lately... Recruiter calls me, screen says unknown number, I pick up. And the first 30 seconds I sound like a person who has never worked a day in my life.

I literally said "yeah, I'm doing... fine, at work" in my last screening call. At WORK? That's the answer? Thats how I respond to a recruiter?

I know my background. I can talk about my projects. But the cold transition from watching something on phone to sell yourself just nukes my brain.

Been trying to do voice notes on my phone where I answer common questions out loud while walking. Helps a little. Like at least my mouth knows the shape of the words.

Why am I so anxious of a normal call? Anyone faced this?
