I think I messed up my interview

Post Reply New Topic

I'm quiet upset because I really thought this place had a position for me but I didn't do so well at interview.
Usually I interview well and give them all the great phony answers that they want, but for no reason at all I gave different answers this time.

I'm so disappointed in myself and I do not why I didn't just act the same as I normally do. I think it may have been because they kept me waiting an hour before they interviewed me because they 'run over' so by the time I went in I was not thinking straight.

Also they made me do this stupid test and though I knew most of the answers, when they took the calculator away I think I messed up big time because I started to feel like a cloud had got into my brain.

I'm very disappointed because there were great opportunities for me and they thought I was a good candidate and then I went and socially screwed everything up, yet again, and then I messed up that maths question and now look innumerate. I didn't demonstrate how good I really am at the role at all.

I am so mad at myself for not sticking to the rehearsed answerers. My partner pointed out that maybe they will be fed up of hearing rehearsed answers all the time so I might be ok but I feel so stupid, I messed up again but this time at an interview. I am fed up of messing up social stuff all the time, I want to be normal and get a job

I really blew an interview once, at a place where someone I knew basically said there was a position available for me. I thought it was a sure thing. I was really embarrassed. I feel your pain.

I did not get the job. I hope your situation turns out better than mine.

I hope you got the job, anyway. Maybe they ARE fed up with "rehearsed" answers.

Even if you don't get the job, keep on plugging!

Adapt the attitude the place that hires you will be lucky. Don't go to an interview and act submissively.

I would act with quiet confidence, not overt confidence.

Thanks for the responses guys. I still feel terrible about it but I will have to keep on trying anyway.

I'm taking a look at that link now.
