I failed two interviews today :(

And I feel blue.... Can anyone offer any moral support?

I thought I was a really good candidate (very experienced), but they obviously did not!
One was just an interview, the other a lesson and interview. Both part-time positions, apparently they had many applicants (or were they just saying that to make me feel better!!?) Got feedback from the first that it was a good interview but a couple of answers not detailed enough. The second (with the lesson) didn't offer feedback.

These were my first interviews for several years. In the past year I've been on maternity leave, then just doing PPA cover so I feel a bit lacking in confidence. Will anyone ever want to employ me? I've resigned from my current post due to a house move and am worried I'll never find a job.

3rd time lucky, the right job will come along just use the experience as a practice run!
