2 job interviews and came 2nd both times..

[TheGrayChapter]

It’s so disheartening, apparently I interviewed brilliantly both time but someone else was better than me.

I supposed I best start looking again...sadly it’s not the best time to be job hunting

[MyGodImSoYoung]

Oh my love, that's rubbish.

On the plus side, you know that you do well in interviews. Try not to be disheartened; it is an absolutely crap time to be stuck looking for a job.

Good luck with the job hunting! xx

Be positive. It means your CV is good, there is an active market for your skills and it's just a matter of time.

I've cocked up one, come second in one, and have a third on Friday. Fingers crossed for both of us

[TheGrayChapter]

@Mintjulia fingers crossed for you!

It’s just so disheartening, I was so hopeful after the one I did today and to come 2nd was a knock as the interview itself was great!

[TrollTheRespawnJeremy]

So annoying. V. promising that you were invited to interview though- so many not getting a response to anything at the moment.

Don't give up, just getting to interview is a bonus these days. The right job will come along.

I could write your op. I'm terrible at interviews and often the 2and candidate. I'm always great at my job when I'm in it, but really struggle with interviews

[StephenBelafonte]

Were the successful candidates already working there?

[Bearnecessity]

Me too...feeling your pain it is awful I suspect an ex-employer is twisting the knife in behind my back....she was fed a load of lies about me by a line manager who blamed all her inabilities on me to deflect the blame from her. The employer swallowed it all.

I came second or third in nine interviews in 2018/19. I have no advice but I commiserate. It's shit and so disheartening.
