What do you think the bottleneck was in your search?

Was it finding openings, getting interviews, or passing those interviews?

In my niche I’m finding that there are very few opening in the city I live in, but that getting interviews might not be too hard. Not sure how easy it would be to pass those interviews.



Most of my issues were around interviewing, I got plenty of them but somewhere in the 3+ rounds of interviewing I'd choke. I have always been nervous during interviews and had previously got most of my positions through my network, but none of their companies were hiring. Next time this happens I'm going to try an interview tutor to see if that helps and probably take some Xanax or something to help settle my nerves.


Take it or leave it - I tell myself i already failed the incomming interview and whenever I notice i get nervous I tell myself im just talking with friends


Thanks.
