What is your communication style?

Does anyone draw a complete blank at interviews? From the time they say "So tell me about yourself" I go into fight or flight mode. It as if they're asking me about someone else's life. They say don't try to memorize your answers, but I have no other choice. I sturdy all these stories and intro's about myself and still can't remember. I don't know what to do. I have had at least 4 interviews and at each one I rambled and didn't get the job.
Growth Isn’t Always Comfortable One thing I’ve realized in my career journey is that growth often comes disguised as discomfort. The roles that stretch you, the feedback that challenges you, and the moments you feel uncertain—those are usually the turning points. If you’re in a phase where things feel unclear or tough, you’re probably evolving. Stay consistent. Stay open to learning. The results will follow
What’s the hardest you’ve ever bombed an interview? I once answered a behavioral question so badly the interviewer started helping me formulate my own example halfway through (humanitarian effort on his part, I guess). They rejected me in under 30 minutes. Pretty sure they hit ‘send’ before I reached the elevator, LOL.
I highly prefer written and detailed. But most people don’t like that from me (that’s overwhelming, I don’t have time for that, but they’re happy with a video that takes longer to watch than it takes to read a document) and don’t have the ability to do it well so I don’t get useful input from others, either. So instead of one document that covers what’s needed, we email back and forth until someone gets frustrated and demands a phone call, then I spend an hour writing up notes from it. This how they want me to spend my time at work.
