  1. 1

    Today, I applied for my first sales job at a company I found on Indeed. At only 23 years old, I took a chance because there weren't many options available. To my surprise, I received a call back within a minute of submitting my application. The interviewer immediately started firing questions at me, and honestly, I struggled to answer most of them. My anxiety kicked in, and I felt embarrassed about my lack of experience since I've only worked in restaurants and retail. When they asked me what drew me to the job, I started off strong, but as they repeated the question, I got flustered and ended up giving a rambling answer. I didn't expect such a quick response, and it threw me off. There were several other questions that I can't quite recall, but the overall experience was overwhelming. Now, I'm left feeling humiliated and questioning whether this was a reflection of my inexperience or if I dodged a potential red flag. I really want to improve my interview skills to avoid freezing up like that in the future.
