On paper, I'm a fairly competitive candidate, with 11 publications (7 first author) and lots of conference presentations. I spent a whole week researching the lab group and preparing for my interview, but I'm not that great in interviews in the first place... I don't do well under pressure or when I'm nervous! It also doesn't help that so many of these postdocs have requirements that I don't think one single person can every meet, so I never know how to address it when they ask if I have experience with a particular method or software I've never used.
Any tips, advice, reassuring comments would be much appreciated. I'm not sure I can survive the whole process again, sigh. Just complaining here, really, haha.
