Being rejected a few times this week, this makes me feel a bit better. For one interview ... my brain decided to take the day off ... nerves I guess ... it was not pretty. Any who (sic) ... the show must go on ... back at it tomorrow morning wish me the best.

Lol or that feeling when you know your answer to a question didn't go over well with the interviewer. I've found to remain fairly neutral with interviewers and attempt to draw them out first. Once you sorta know their hand then you play yours. Also when your brain decided to shut down, just slow down, take a deep breath, and stop thinking about the overwhelming doubt growing in the back of your head. The interviewers won't fault you for that. Its kinda cheesy but I like Dune's matra "Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration."
