Thanks for the replies.

AnonymousOne, yes I think that I sort of know what the expectations of me are in an interview, whereas in real life, I feel like they might "judge" me.

yossarian, yeah when I go into an interview I do feel qualified, and more confident because I feel like I "deserve" to be there; even though I should feel that way normally anyway.

Jennihul, although there are some rehearsed things in an interview, there are often many questions that I never expected and yet I'm able to be very spontaneous.
