The interviewer was asking me about concepts I have a good grasp on but every time I opened my mouth nothing intelligible was coming out. My mind just went black. After the interview, I thought I would be down but I just couldn't stop laughing at how bad it actually went. Because it actually revealed to me how I was not prepared and I have some major knowledge gaps that I need to work on. It was not an experience I wanted but definitely one I needed to have. But at least I took notes during the interview and I know exactly what I will be focusing on in the near future.</p> career motivation todayilearned
