I had an interview a couple of days ago for a job I really wanted, and I completely blew it. My mind went totally blank on a super basic question, and I can't stop replaying the cringe in my head. When will I get over this? I'm so embarrassed.

This has happened to me. I just keep reminding myself that I may have wanted that job, but it was not the right one for me. I will know when the right one comes.

If I even got one job off this site I dont brlievr the interview would be difficult at all.

How do you know you blew it? If they haven't made a decision yet...call or email and confess that you were nervous because you really want to work there.

It happens to all of us. It’s very difficult to answer every question perfectly especially when it’s a question that catches you off guard. Please forgive yourself and try to let it go. Use it as a learning moment and move forward.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
