4 things help for me:

1. i like myself regardless of if this other person likes me 2. i will be fine, even if i fuck this up 3. every time im asked is an opportunity to practice, tweak something 4. write what you've been up to down

it's like rapping tbh. you learn snippets and lines that work and then you mix and match them for the context.

you don't want to be deciding word by word but phrase by phrase.

The last time I was interviewing I wrote out a narrative about my skills and experience. Basically a short bio, but also what roles I’d had in my current job, what technologies and practices I had used, some highlights of major projected, etc. I didn’t read it word for word but just having it up on my screen during phone interviews helped. Before in person interviews I’d review it a few times.
