If you keep getting interviews but not offers, the biggest problem may not be your qualifications. In this episode, I break down the scarcity, desperation, impostor thinking, and interview mindset mistakes that make strong candidates come across shaky.

If you've been wondering why you feel so nervous in job interviews, this one's for you. With over a million layoffs in the US in 2025 alone and more people competing for fewer roles, it's taking longer than ever to land a job offer. 

As an executive coach experienced in interview prep, I break down why the biggest blocker in interviews isn't your qualifications or your answers. It's your interview mindset.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How to stop feeling desperate in your job search and why that desperation is wrecking your interviews
  • How to shift negative self-talk before an interview
  • The myth of the perfect candidate and why it's sabotaging you
  • What to do when you feel imposter syndrome for a job you're interviewing for
  • Why getting the interview means you already belong in the room
  • A simple pre-interview exercise to help you walk in grounded and clear

Whether you're struggling with imposter syndrome in interviews, not getting job offers despite being qualified, or just need to get your head on straight before your next one, this episode is for you.
