What is your communication style?

Just read an article from Fortune about people feeling too burnt out to apply for jobs. Is that you? I get it. This paragraph really summed it up for me: "Compounding the immobility: job seekers are being ghosted at a three-year high, with more than half of applicants reporting no response from employers in the past year. Hiring experts connect the trend directly to AI-inflated application volumes overwhelming recruiters — the same feedback loop burning candidates out. [...]"
Does anyone draw a complete blank at interviews? From the time they say "So tell me about yourself" I go into fight or flight mode. It as if they're asking me about someone else's life. They say don't try to memorize your answers, but I have no other choice. I sturdy all these stories and intro's about myself and still can't remember. I don't know what to do. I have had at least 4 interviews and at each one I rambled and didn't get the job.
I highly prefer written and detailed. But most people don’t like that from me (that’s overwhelming, I don’t have time for that, but they’re happy with a video that takes longer to watch than it takes to read a document) and don’t have the ability to do it well so I don’t get useful input from others, either. So instead of one document that covers what’s needed, we email back and forth until someone gets frustrated and demands a phone call, then I spend an hour writing up notes from it. This how they want me to spend my time at work.
