How do you rebuild your confidence and shake off the anxiety after a rough interview? I keep worrying that this one bad performance means I'm just not cut out for the current competitive market.

First an foremost, realize that interviewing requires a specific skillset that many jobs don't require, and the nerves you feel don't typically follow you into the workplace. You may very well have bombed an interview, but that's only an indication that you bombed an interview, not that you aren't a capable person.

That having been said, we can and do improve with practice. Let the emotions subside, and write down what went well, what needs attention, and take action to improve. Another benefit of bombing is that you have now experienced the worst of it, and you are here to tell the tale. Bummer that you didn't get the job, but all that other negativity in your head is purely if your own making.

Yup,
