practicing mock interviews with a stranger online felt worse than the real thing but that turned out to be exactly why it worked
#interview-prep#mock-interviews
With a friend I'd get generous nods and no real pressure. A stranger just sat there neutral, no reassurance, and it forced me to actually perform instead of half explaining and trailing off. Uncomfortable every single time, but the real interviews felt easier by comparison after a few rounds.

AnonymousAnon There are a few sites for exactly this, paired anonymous mock interviews. Did you use one of those or just find someone in a community somewhere?

AnonymousAnon Never thought about it this way but it makes sense, a friend nodding along doesn't simulate the actual pressure at all.
