How to give an impressive answer to 'tell me about yourself' and 'why should we select you' ?

What to do now, I mean how lucky I am?
So I got a job as a SDR, signed a contract and they in the middle of the summer before starting they fired me because they thought I wasn’t professional. The thing is that a sales manager interviewed me and the interview went pretty well and we had a nice conversation. The thing is that my relationship with that other company didn’t end so well, I think even the manager wasn’t to happy with my persona. The thing is that I now am interviewing for another SDR position, and they have the same manager(who this time works in house and thought his agency like the first time). Now, I really want this job and I’ve successfully passed the CV screening and the first round of interview with them. The impression was positive and honestly it’s the only good job lined up that I have. Now what should I do? Address the situation? Tell him that things have changed? Tell him nothing and hope he doesn’t remember( I just had a talk with him, he didn’t interview me and again it was pretty nice) but the things with the first company ended pretty bad too. Please tell me, because I can’t get enough of this and I really wanna have this job. Update: I had the interview and it couldn’t have gone better. Literally, he asked me a bunch of questions and I totally aced them. We had a few laughs and it honestly felt like a normal and pleasant conversation, he even asked why I was so serious ahhahaha. Usual conversational questions. Honestly he seems like a great guy to work for, I did some research and he is a pretty big guy on sales management so I am sure that working with him will make me a great sales rep. I also mentioned one of his LinkedIn posts. Repeat, I think I aced it, he told me about the challenges of the role in detail and pretty much sold the company to me. Also he told me openly that there were several things that he liked about me. He didn’t know about the incident on my previous company. He just asked why I left and I told him that it was because I wanted to explore new places that were oriented at marketing and that were a better fit for my professional background. I forgot tho to ask about compensation and I dm him on LinkedIn They should get Back to me with an interview with the CEO after the holidays. Based on those indicators would you say it’s any good? I literally hate job search so I want to get the job.

First Ever Job Interview?
I just thought to share this because I'm extremely worried. So I'm 16 years old, I applied for many fast food restaurants and even retail stores but the only company that got back to me was Jack's. After I applied to them I literally received a message 30 minutes after completing the application to schedule and set up an interview up with them. So the interview I set up took place yesterday, it was my first job interview ever. Didn't know really what to expect and it went like this. So I first got there, was relatively 15 minutes early so I waited then met with the woman who was hiring me I guess. Honestly she looked like a younger employee not a HR manager. So we sat down and she didn't introduce herself at all, she immediately ask for my name, email, and was this my first job, which I thought was normal. Although, the message said to bring my ID and SSN card she didn't even bother to ask for it she immediately begin the interview with the question why do i want to work there. Mind you this interview was scheduled to be 30 minutes it literally only lasted 5-6 minutes she only asked me 2 QUESTIONS which I thought was very weird and a red flag. After that question she asked what days would I be available when school starts, so I gave her the info on that. Then after, she spoke about how they were letting people go because the employees they had would not be working and would often be on there phone and she gave me expectations on what she expects of me I guess. So after that, she said that was all and said the interview was over and that it was all she needed to here. She didn't ask what questions I had or anything she just ended it right then and there and got up. What really confused me is the fact she said she would send paperwork after the interview was over and im not sure what she means by that. I even asked her again will I be expecting a call back for the job offer or paperwork and she stated that I will be receiving paperwork again. Honestly, a no experience kid like me in the workforce, I just said ok and walked out of the store and thought nothing of it. Until it hit me on the way home, how would she send paperwork? Through the mail? What would the paperwork be about? When could I be expecting this paperwork? If i was paperwork why couldn't I do it there? It overall was just very confusing and I thought it was super unprofessional because she even cussed at one moment before we even began the interview. Mind you after all this I still don't even know the woman who was hiring me name. Does this mean I didn't get the job? is this a sign? Can any of you guys please share your opinion on this?
How do I pass an interview?
I've done multiple interviews, I'm on a rejection streak, and I am in the dumps because of it. It seems to me like my resume and application is good enough to be offered an interview but when it comes to the interview, I choke up. I know everyone says to just be yourself, but i don't know how to do that. I'm not putting up a facade for these interviews, I think the problem is I don't know how to sPeAk and improv on the spot. I go to the interview practiced and prepared but it ends in agony and I don't know how to fix that. HELP.
