The More You Want The Job, The Harder it Gets
High stakes job interviews become more difficult when candidates care deeply about the outcome, as increased emotional investment activates the amygdala and impairs performance. The paradox is that those who want the job most tend to perform worst due to this neurobiological stress response.
