Is it normal to hate job interviews?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s completely normal to hate job interviews. They can feel awkward and high-pressure, even when you’re perfectly comfortable talking about your skills in other situations.

Interviews ask you to sell yourself on cue while someone judges whether you’d fit in. That’s an odd setup, so lots of people find them stressful, draining, or just plain unpleasant.

You don’t have to enjoy interviews to be good at them—or to deserve the job. Some people find practice makes them less awful; others still hate the format and get through it anyway.
