Failed Articling Interview

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for interview coach, ideally someone familiar with the legal market and articling recruitment in Toronto.

My application materials aren't the issue. I have strong grades (Grade A) from law school, passed Barriters and Solicitors, and my drafting is sharp enough that I’m consistently getting shortlisted. Recently, I landed 4 articling interviews.

The problem is the actual interview. I suffer from severe interview anxiety, and it has always been my biggest hurdle. Despite getting my foot in the door, my nerves completely take over when I'm in the hot seat and I start fumbling even when I know the answer.

I just found out that I didn't clear a single one of those 4 interviews, and I am honestly devastated. I feel completely stuck and don't know what to do next

Has anyone worked with an interview coach who specializes in practical prep and overcoming anxiety?
