The worst is when you prepare a conversation in your head but then when you have it in real life, people ask all the wrong questions and now you don't have the proper answer prepared. So better attempt to predict every single possible way the conversation could go, that'll surely help and not just bog my brain down to the point where I don't get anything done!

What are some interviews you've been through lately?

I had a particularly lengthy interview of myself by myself recently on the toxicity of the enormous amounts of corporate greed our society is experiencing and how its driving the cost of rent and other neccessities up, essentially pricing people out of existing, I would suggest you watch it but....well

For me, my expertise would center around one or two interests at one time, depending on the context: music, writing, architecture, history, visual arts, and most of all, fan fiction.
