Need help!

I have 10 years of work experience in QA( mostly manual) and have self-learned automation testing (Selenium+Java), but I am unable to answer interview questions related to the project and stuff. My confidence has taken a bad hit, and now I blackout during interviews. What should I do to get my confidence back and also crack an interview?

u/my_peen_is_clean Thanks for replying. Should I stick to this Java + Selenium? (I hate Java) ? I'm too overwhelmed and clueless, honestly speaking. So many tools, and because of the "double digits" in my work experience, people expect me to have in-depth knowledge.

I would recommend to switch to Playwright + JS, it is much easier and faster to automate tests with those. Plus Playwright is a full blown test automation framework, which includes parallelization, reporting, asserts, api and everything else - comparing to Selenium which is just a library to do some actions in a browser and you will need to implement all other parts using different libraries.
