Why Interviewing Feels Like Public Speaking (And How to Fix It)

Public speaking is often cited as a top human fear, and for many, interviewing feels exactly the same. Kent and Caanan explore why we experience that familiar social phobia – the self-consciousness, the fear of judgment, and the anxiety of losing control – when sitting across from a hiring panel.
