The Interview Possum meme typically features an image of an opossum being presented with a microphone, often looking startled, overwhelmed, or ready to hiss. It perfectly captures the universal feeling of social anxiety, specifically during high-pressure situations like job interviews where one might feel like an unqualified intruder. Originating from viral wildlife photography, the image became a staple on platforms like Tumblr and Twitter to represent the 'fight or flight' response to professional questioning. It is widely used to mock corporate culture and the sheer absurdity of having to provide polished answers while feeling like a chaotic trash-eating marsupial on the inside.
