Think I have let everyone down.

[StrawberryVits]

I am a single parent to a 5 year DD. Had an interview yesterday and overall I did ok but think I could have done better. I forgot to say certain things that would have bad relevant. This is the 4th interview I've had in recent months and probably will be another rejection. I just can't get it right. Had some decent feedback from some interviews, ghosted by others. I feel like a massive failure. 1) to my DD. 2) Myself 3) My parents who I think might be starting to base my worth about if I'm in a job or not.. I should find out tomorrow or Thursday but I think most likely it's going to be another no. I just feel so bad about myself and like I'm letting everyone down. I should be doing better. Don't know how to move forward

Just feel like no company will take a chance on me as I haven't worked since having my daughter

You're getting interviews that's a really good start, I do a lot of recruitment for the MOJ/civil service and some of my team have just sifted a campaign for entry level roles, we had six vacancies and 77 applicants, we sifted 15 for interview.

Do you have a job coach or anyone you can practice interview techniques with? My diary manager started with us as a temp receptionist and tbh she is fabulous but I've interviewed her twice for promotions and she does not interview well but because we knew her and her capabilities, that helps. Temp agencies will often have people who can help you with these kinds of things too. It's worth considering, but I hope you get the outcome you want from this one.

You're doing your best to improve your future for you and your daughter, that's admirable, remember that.
