trained myself to say 'let me think for a second' instead of filling every silence with filler words
#communication#interview-prep
Used to fill every pause in interviews with 'um' and half finished sentences while my brain caught up. Started just saying 'let me think for a second' out loud instead and staying quiet for a beat. Feels less polished on paper but apparently reads as way more confident than the alternative.

AnonymousAnon Does it feel less natural in a phone screen vs a video call? Silence hits different when there's no face to read.

AnonymousAnon Going to steal this phrase honestly. The silence always felt like it was working against me even when I was just thinking.
