Oct 9 • ⚒️ Interview Questions 🛠️
Practice Makes Perfect
When I first broke into tech, my dream role at the time slipped through my fingers.
Not because I lacked the technical skills, but because I bombed the behavioral interview.
Despite not having a mentor or mock interview partner, I was determined to succeed.
I read every blog, studied every STAR framework, and rehearsed in the mirror for months.
Eventually, I tried mock interviews with strangers online.
But I knew awkward silences, judgment, and even ghosting were part of the deal, so I had to swallow my pride and push through the discomfort.
I over-explained. I froze. I rambled.
Interviewers smiled politely and rejected me silently.
That job hunt failed, and I faced months of uncertainty, shame, and a savings account near zero.
For half a year, I carried the weight of rejection into every new application.
I worried whether I could even hold a conversation that made someone believe in me again.
However, a few months later, I finally landed a role that saw me not just for what I can code, but for what I brought to the team.
Why am I telling you this?
Because what you see online isn’t the whole story.
People only show you the offer letters, not the breakdowns between interviews.
So if you're experiencing rejection after a behavioral round right now, I assure you it won't last forever.
You’re not “bad at interviews.”
You just need to practice like your career depends on it, because it does.
If you're looking for someone to help with your mock interviews, send me a DM.
