Every experienced candidate knows this feeling.

You’re mid-interview. The conversation is flowing. Then something changes.

The energy shifts.

Maybe the interviewer leans back. Maybe the follow-up questions stop. Maybe the conversation suddenly gets more serious.

Or maybe the opposite happens. It opens up.

In this AMA episode, we break down:

• What candidates unintentionally do when pressure hits

• How over-rehearsed answers create distance

• The “failure question” and why it exposes more than you think

• What happens when you try to recover by selling harder

• The difference between performance and presence

This isn’t interview coaching.

It’s a real discussion about awareness, self-regulation, and the subtle behaviors that shape perception in high-stakes conversations.

If you’ve ever walked out of an interview wondering, “What just happened in there?” — this episode is for you.
