I wanted a job so, so bad. My experience is perfect for the role and I tailored my resume. I prepared a LOT for my interview with the HM but think I fell short in the interview from nerves. I've never used this term but truly felt like it was my dream job, THE job. I'm just beating myself up for not doing my best and letting this opportunity pass. I'm trying to tell myself that rejection is redirection and all that...

When I overhype a role in my head, it makes me nervous in interviews. My best interviews are the ones I don’t care about. So I’ve started harnessing this mentality, eg telling myself I’ll find lots of options and this is just one, if it’s meant to be it will be, etc. Or that I’ll just do my best at the interview and the rest is out of my hands.

It happens to all of us and more than a few times. Sorry you didn’t get the job you had your heart set on. But it’s really competitive out there. Don’t beat yourself up. Honestly assess what you could have done better, make a plan for a couple things you can do differently next time, and then let it go….
