I had my first real interview. Not just for a coding job, but ever. All the jobs I have had in the past were the type where you talk to someone for 10-15 minutes, and they say "Can you start Monday?", or my 20+ yr office job where I came in as a temp, and after 6 months they asked if I wanted to become an employee.
I bombed it. Big time.
In the first 2 minutes, I said something that was overly friendly, and then all I could focus on was how I messed up, so then I did it again, and again, and it became a downward spiral.
Afterward, I could tell you every single part I messed up.
Meeting with LaunchCode giving me feedback on the interview.
Them: We got feedback.
Me: I ::: covers everything I did wrong :::
Them: Yep, that about sums it all up. So what are you going to do about this for the future?
Me: I am going to ::: list out the things I need to do :::
Them: Yeah, that is what I was going to suggest. I think this is the fastest meeting like this I've had. You know what to do, now you just need to practice more.
