I have been interviewing for about two months now and have gotten interviews at about 10 different companys. I always make it through the process till a final round interview however I never receive an offer. I feel as though my interview skills are good. I am just wondering if this is normal or am I doing something terribly wrong to not of received an offer yet. I've had interviewers tell me quite a few times that I am a likable person and they enjoyed talking with me. Feeling pretty down :(

Same 😭

Yeah, getting that first job is tough. Entry level positions are extremely competitive. Getting to the final round of interviews is a major accomplishment all in itself. Keep trying you’ll get there just make your salary requirements are in line with the position and your skill level

Like SM said above, interiews are tough right now. And it really is a numbers game. Keep your head up and keep interviewing.

Don't be. I went through the same and it's normal being rejected. There are really deserving people who are fit for the job. Cheer up. You are just meant for something greater.

It can sometimes be discouraging. But I commend you for being courageous and how you kept on trying. I believe deep down that there's something much much greater awaiting you.

Like others have said, it's tough out there getting that first gig. It's hard to give specific advice without knowing more, but I'd suggest you reflect on your interviews. Are there any questions or topics you're uncomfortable with when they come up? Spend some time strengthening those answers.
