Great at phone interviews, horrible at in-person interviews

2 points by bayesiandataman ↗ HN
I've been interviewing at various startups in NYC for the past 8 months and have yet to get an offer. I'm trying to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong.

I generally get great feedback during interviews and technical screenings via the phone, but when it comes to meeting in-person I feel like I'm doing something majorly wrong.

I'm generally a very introverted person and I'm assuming my anxiety becomes apparent when I first meet people. Considering that culture fit is so important in the startup world, I'm worried that I won't be able to find a job in a startup because of it.

I've only worked in larger organizations before so culture fit wasn't as important. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences?

How about you team with someone you get along, and start something on your own?
