To ask for interview advise, I've lost my job because I'm shit!

I've just had to apply for my own job, my manager thought it was a given that I'd breeze the interview despite me telling them again and again how shit I am in an interview. Loads of people applied, someone else got it because my mind went blank in the interview and I just garbled pure garbage. My boss phoned me crying as I couldn't possibly be offered the job now as my score was rock bottom, it was acknowledged that I was the best candidate and can do it stood on my head. My staff are in bits, I can't stop crying, what a mess.

I thought I would be ok this time, I spent weeks and weeks preparing, I had all the acronyms in my head to remember things, it went so badly, I could even do the 'tell us about yourself' properly. I don't really get stressed and was only nervous by the usual standard.

I've now got to find myself another job asap, wtf do I do now if I can't do an interview (it happens every time)?

@riotingbananas no, nothing like that! They said it was because I’d been performance managed for 2 months 6 months previously and they hadn’t formally made a decision to end it (I’d had a meeting and been told it was ended after the 2 months but apparently they hadn’t written a report to end it). They didn’t appoint anyone, and had someone else cover my work until they read readvertised a few months later. I’d asked if it was worth me applying because of the performance management in the first instance and been told I had as good a chance as anyone. Guess not...
