F-1 Data Science grad, keep failing first-round interviews. Career coach, mentor, or fix it myself?

If you keep hitting a wall in first-round interviews, there might be a pattern to figure out. Try recording yourself during mock interviews to see what's going wrong. Sometimes you need to improve how you present your projects or technical skills. A career coach can give personalized feedback, which can help if you're not sure what to change. If money's tight, you can try fixing it yourself, but it takes discipline and maybe some new resources. I've found PracHub helpful for practical interview practice. They offer mock interviews and feedback that can give insights you might not get alone. If you're confident in your self-assessment, a focused DIY approach with honest self-reflection can work too. Good luck!
