Unsuccessful at job interview… does it ever get better

Hello,

I had a job interview earlier in the week for a position which I felt the interview went really well, answered everything in confidence and felt positive.

Just heard I was unsuccessful for the position (there was 2 positions available plus a part-time role) and I just feel absolutely gutted. 😞

I have asked for feedback from my interview but does it ever get better?

I’m sorry OP, it’s the worst feeling isn’t it, it’s likely not you, the jobs market is absolutely brutal right now. You did well to get an interview- all you can do is ask for your feedback, work on your technique (video yourself and watch back etc) which I’m sure you’ve likely already done. Sometimes there is just someone else with slightly more experience or right fit for the team. Keep on and chin up.
