What are some tips for dealing with interview fatigue? Improving performance? I just got my 4th rejection after an interview. I'm used to always nailing interviews... sigh

Great question, IMO , always give yourself time to reflect about how you did on your interview. What parts you think came across really well, perhaps a question you didn’t handle the right way. Not all recruiters give detailed feedback but always inquiring about it helps a lot. Also, continue to stay positive thru the process, as long as you stay focused on your goal and continue to work hard for it , something will come.

STAY MOTIVATED. Like warren buffet says you can make 100 investments but you only need that ONE to be a success for you.

Stay positive and keep the mindset that every interview is a conversation. Fatigue occurs when you do something that is uncomfortable for too long. That means if you’re feeling fatigued after interviews, you may be coming across as uncomfortable. I know it’s easier said than done, but RELAX. Keep in mind that you’re also interviewing them and they’re no better than you are. Talk to them like you’d talk to a neighbor and you shouldn’t feel as fatigued.

Another tactic of mine is to always ask at the end of the interview “what would keep me from succeeding in this role?”.

Without asking directly, you’re uncovering what their apprehensions are. If they give you feedback about your qualifications or persona, address it immediately. You’ll sleep a lot better knowing you got to the heart of what would keep you from getting hired and addressed it directly.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
