3 1/2 weeks working towards this final interview and I froze!

Ya’ll. I have been going back and forth with a recruiter scheduling times for my 1st and 2nd interviews for a company I’ve always wanted to work for. Bam! I get to the final interview (panel interview with senior managers of the engineering team etc) five mins in I freaking freeze on the first question. Legitimately freeze. I probably looked like a deer in the headlights. I recovered quickly and the rest of the interview felt great, but I’ve never frozen before! 😢 I can’t get over the embarrassment.
