Ask HN: How to deal with interviews when English isn't my native language?
I'm from a non-english speaking country. Although I have a fairly good command over written English, my vocabulary isn't good enough when it comes to spontaneously speaking English. I'm working on this, but haven't gotten there yet.
That said, I want to work with global companies - likely companies outside the country I live in. During interviews, I find myself mind-blocked often because of my poor vocabulary. And this builds up, affecting my interview performance too.
Is there any concrete way to get around this problem? I tried casually conversing in English more often, but during interviews, the spontaneity with which the person in the other end talks, makes me feel inferior about my command over the language.
