Having been in combat and having seen the worst of humanity, I've reached the understanding that there are very few things in our first world lives that are really worth getting nervous (or angry, scared, discouraged, etc...) about. So for better or worse, I've never been nervous in any job interview. I barely even prepare for job interviews. Of course, I would never recommend my experience to anyone, as there are certainly side effects to achieving this mentality of "chuck it in the phuck-it bucket"
If you flip the shoes as an employer, how you present yourself is much less important than how you design. If your design is 100% on point, you'll still land the job even with a crappy presentation. so I'd focus more on improving my design skills than my presentation skills, unless they hire you for public speaking.
@@Designalily plenty, almost all of my clients are either in SF or NY. 12 years of experience, had over 600 interviews and landed 103 gigs. so pretty much 1/6 close rate. 300~400k revenue annually. always enjoy your content tho :)
Congrats on your new gig! This is a great post for all job seekers.
Thank you, Jay!

Wonderful content. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your advice and it is really helpful. Changing the mindset to prepare the interview really reduce so much stress of it.
Very practical advice, thank you for sharing. I am preparing for an interview.

That's so helpful. I'm starting the process of job searching 💪🏼 Which AI tools did you use to improve your speaking when training?
I used a bunch! I think speeko is free on ios mobile
