How to Stay Present in High-Stakes Interviews |

  High-stakes interviews can quietly shift from a conversation into a performance. When that happens, answers start to feel one-sided, rehearsed, or strangely disconnected – like words are coming out, but real connection isn’t landing. This topic explores why that shift happens and how pressure, self-protection, and over-control interfere with presence in the moment. Staying present isn’t about saying the perfect thing or proving worth. It’s about creating enough internal calm to truly listen, adjust, and respond in real time. When presence replaces performance, interviews become conversations again—and that’s when clarity, confidence, and connection show up naturally.   You’ll learn: ✔ Why interviews can start to feel like monologues instead of conversations ✔ How self-protection quietly blocks real connection ✔ The link between anxiety, control, and communication breakdowns ✔ What presence actually looks like in a high-pressure interview ✔ How staying regulated helps your message land and resonate   ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ WELCOME TO THE UNCOMMON CAREER!  Here's a few ways we can get to know each other: 📥 Podcast Roadmap - our most popular episodes for every stage of your search:  https://theuncommoncareer.com/roadmap 📥 Download our 5-step process: https://theuncommoncareer.com/process   🔍 Learn about my coaching approach: https://theuncommoncareer.com/approach   💬 Connect with me on LinkedIn to get targeted resources:   / pmortega   💬 Ask me your question or get featured on the podcast: https://theuncommoncareer.com/ask 📆 Ready to talk through your specific job search?
