Stuttering is killing my career before it's even started

I just ruined yet another hirevue with a BB for IBD off-cycle intern. I'm just really disappointed in myself. I practiced the questions hundreds of times! I practice to the camera, mirror, and to family & friends. Somehow I just get nervous last minute and ruin it. Stuttering while I'm nervous isn't too common but I don't know why it's so hampering in this case. I just get tongue-tied so strangely, my mind goes to freeze mode.

I really hate myself at this point, I ruined 4 or 5 of these already. Fml
