I’ve got a friend who is a lot like you. I’ve worked with him, so genuinely know he’s good, but he sucks at interviews. He freezes up and can’t answer simple technical things, things he knows and has successfully done often. Some people simply suck at interviews.

I think practice help with this "Some people simply suck at interviews".

If you practice at home, after work, try with other companies before applying the ones you really wants and you will improve your interview skills by a lot.

Absolutely. Pretty much everything we do can be improved with practice.
