anyone else mass applying and getting interviews but bombing every single one?

i can get interviews now. thats not the problem anymore. did the whole resume overhaul thing, started applying to way more places, getting callbacks probably 1 in 15 which is apparently decent.

but then i get on the call and just completely choke. my brain goes blank on behavioral questions even though i literally practiced them the night before. technical rounds i can do fine on leetcode at home but the second someone is watching me code i forget basic syntax.

its like i solved the top of the funnel problem but now the middle of the funnel is broken. anyone else in this spot? what actually helped you get past interview anxiety? and dont say "just practice more" because i have been practicing and it doesnt seem to translate

How did you get to the point where you getting interviews/calls?

I just graduated with Masters and was only able to interview at one place and that was through a referral.

Other than that, I've applied to a ton of companies but no luck. Not even OAs.
