I finally got through a mock interview without freezing after a teacher in Columbus gave me one odd tip
I was practicing for a jump to an admin role last month, and in the mock session I just blanked on "tell me about a time you handled conflict" and stared at the wall for what felt like a full minute. A retired teacher named Pat who runs a job club in Columbus had me try answering out loud while walking around the room, no notes, just moving. Sounded silly at first, but by the third try the words came out in order instead of getting stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth. Does this actually help anyone else, or did I just get lucky that day?
