The worst part of my rejections is that I cannot even pass recruiters - apparently I cannot sell myself good enough despite that I’m somewhat confident that I’ll do good at technical interviews. Looks like a common problem to introverts.

As an introvert myself I can feel the pain. It only gets worse once you get into one of the big soulless companies out there. You get trampled and backstabbed every step along the way by the extroverts that -regardless of their technical skills- are better in politics, self-promotion and managing your clueless managers. Hell - I'm currently regretting not going for a sailors' career when I could.

This is something I'm better at than technical interviews, if you want to practice my email is in my bio.

I think sheer practice can help here--when I haven't interviewed for a while, I'm rusty at telling "my story," but once back in the process, it begins to flow again. (rusty flow?)
