Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

"So, how'd the last interviewee do?" "They didn't start off strong, but halfway through, they turned the whole thing around on me. They had me questioning not only where and what the job was but also who /I/ am. Where do /I/ see myself in five years? What is /my/ name again? It was impressive."

You need to apply to work an Alzheimer's/dementia assisted-living complex. You'll fit right in.

Every interview I've had I started with "I'll be honest, I'm very nervous and I talk fast when I'm nervous and I've been working on my social anxiety so I do apologize if I seem jittery ahaha" and I've nailed every interview. They usually understand EVERYONE is nervous and if you sort of just roll it out right away, you can see their reaction and understanding and shake it off. You can also practice practice practice in the mirror! It gets easier the more you do it ;)
