You got in your head. It happens. Hell, when I was coming out of college I wanted to work in a prop shop. I won't lie, the one good interview with a shop I got, I bombed the fuck out of a brainteaser and it threw me off my game. That caused me to mess up on later parts of the interview. 

You learn from it. Later, I interviewed with that same prop shop and got an offer. That's because I had the reps down. I knew what I was doing. And when I made errors, I worked to correct them and not let them mess me up. You're probably going to make another silly error at some point interviewing. A big thing I look for in candidates now is how they recover from those mess ups. 

 

You know man, I appreciate your honesty.

The truth is, I did get in my head, and I let that fuck me up. I need to reevaluate, get more reps, maybe even do a year at a LMM, and lateral when I know I’m there.

Life is long (hopefully), it’s never about doing it the first time, it’s just how you do after you don’t.
