Messed up during interviews

I had an interview at an AM firm on Friday, I interviewed with 3 people and one of them was virtual with the head of the team. First of, I didn’t even realize that HR sent me 2 different Zoom links for the interview and I waited 3 minutes then thought I should check the other link. The interviewer was on it and we’ve cut our time by 5 mins at this point.

The interview was fairly easy, but I’m afraid that I talked too much for 10-12 mins about my background and resume. I stopped twice to let interviewer know to cut me if she has any questions and she said to keep going. I feel like all I remember from this interview was her saying “wow” with some facial reactions of I guess being impressed? I’m overthinking rn and feel like we didn’t get to converse as much as I would have liked bc I feel like I took a long time to talk about my background/resume and combination of the HR mishaps too.

Another interview was with another team member, and I was asked a technical question on what a cap rate is, I definitely knew this but for some reason at the moment, I froze and mistakenly thought that I was being asked what market cap is.

I believe there are 5 or 6 people in the team and I interviewed with 4 people so far and I would really love to be a part of this team and this company. But at this point, I probably sent out 300+ job applications since September and I am just so over it with the job hunting/hiring process.

My day didn’t end there, I received a hirevue invite for another company on Friday and I literally hate hirevues but I feel like a robot now that I just answered the questions the same way I did the previous interviews lol

I want to see others’ pov in terms of taking too much time just talking about my background and resume, and messing up on the technical question
