Just a rant after botched interview 🤦‍♀️

You know when you’ve messed it up and you just keep replying it in your mind and cringing?
interviewed today for a job that was one level lower than the one I originally applied for (they said at the time I didn’t make the cut for that shortlist but they liked my skill set so suggested I have my application moved to post level below it). I think for this reason I assumed it would be easier to interview but it really wasn’t. I literally couldn’t answer 3/12 questions and my PowerPoint didn’t work properly 🤦‍♀️I’m normally pretty good under pressure but today was just awful. They wrapped it up pretty fast and said they’d get back to me on Thursday, I just am kicking myself as going over the awful bits.
I’m annoyed as things in my personal life have been awful lately and I really could have done with a small win professionally ☹️

Oh I’ve had interviews like that, the post mortem is the worst bit. I hate that cringe feeling. But don’t jump to conclusions, you may have done enough too get an offer. And if not, try not to beat yourself up too much. Easier said than dine, I know!

It happens I've had a couple of rubbish interviews lately but I'm not dwelling on them there's no point. I know it feels crap and cringe though.

Did you hear any news yet? Hope the cringe has faded
