Have a 2 hour interview later this afternoon (meeting the whole time in one go) but mentally & emotionally not ready. I was rejected from a job on Monday. One that I had really been praying for and thought I would get. Unfortunately they decided to go another route. Still feeling pretty down and discouraged & don't know how to get in the right head space for this interview today. Any advice or suggestions?

What level role, what kind of agency?

Trust in the value you bring and just have a good conversation.

I just did one with 4 executive level people. It was a bit exhausting, but just know it’s a human on the other side of the line.

It sounds basic, but you’re probably “prepared” in all the traditional ways, so hydrate, have a snack/coffee, do a power pose beforehand, and then just go with the flow!

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?
