I’ve noticed something for a while and I’m wondering if other people experience the same or if it’s just me overthinking.

I always feel like I perform worse in interviews than I do in real work situations. In my day-to-day work I’m pretty comfortable, but in interviews I get way more stressed, I start overthinking simple questions, and sometimes I even get these “blank moments” where my mind just goes empty for a few seconds.

At one point it even got bad enough that I just froze and ended up hanging up a call because I couldn’t recover in the moment.

Is this something others go through too? And if so, what do you usually do to deal with it or improve?
