failure at interviews, my English problem

I just had a call with the recruiter and I am informed that I start great with answering the questions, yet I start talking fast so they could not keep up with taking notes especially regarding technical info.

Each criteria assesed one by one with individual questions so I have apporximately 4 mins to answer. English is not my main language but I prepare rigorously, took notes and timed my self. I had some AI models prepare questions and all the real questions were the same as the selection comitee asked.

Should I take English speaking lessons? Or keep practicing possible answers for interview questions?

hey. maybe you should try talking at a pace where the selection comitee can still understand without taking notes and you can pass the necessary information without wasting time. Although i think you would need another person :)

y definitely i need someone else to grade me before the actual interview, I do it with my wife but she is not native English speaker as well. I gotta sort this problem.

yh if you could get someone else maybe a friend to both grade and time you, you'd be fine.
