It’s not as if I don’t know my chops, but something about the technical rounds just really throws me. I’ve worked in marketing about 10 years, and it gets more software-heavy every year which is fine. I pick it up as I go and have never really struggled with adopting anything new. I had no trouble explaining things to my team, boss, or clients, and I’ve even taught peers how to use more than a few industry standard platforms. But something about technical round interviews just completely short-circuits my brain. I’ve also noticed lots of curveball questions about super niche functions and specialized use-cases which feels odd since they don’t seem applicable to the roles either.

If anyone else has/had the same issue I was wondering if you have any tips.
