Sometimes it can be very difficult to predict the outcome of your interviews. This is probably because, interviews are arguably one of the most feared things for indivuals looking for opportunities to Kickstart their professional life. Whether an applicant is confident in their abilities of their skills, Interviews can often both predictably and unpredictably bring out the best, and more than often, the worst, in an applicant.

If the worst does happen, failing an interview can be one of the most devastating experiences for an individual, especially when they were expecting to clear it.

One way to cope with interview failure, is to talk to people with whom you're connected on LinkedIn, Friends who are already serving in an organization, HR/Talent Acquisition officers, other references and discuss what is that you lack and what options are on the table with the skills that you've excelled over the years. You can also try reaching out to the Talent Acquisition Officer with a feedback over your interview for the process of self evaluation.

One thing you must remember, is that "FAILING AN INTERVIEW ISN'T THE END OF THE WORLD". These failures are one of the many hurdles you’ll have to surpass in your life, and there are always possibilities to learn and rise above failure. After all, I’m sure most of you have heard the saying ‘failure makes you stronger’. Funnily enough, it really does. It gives you an understanding of what it means to fail, to lose, to receive a negative outcome that you may not have expected to get.

A common worry amongst applicants who have failed their interviews is, is that they’ll now never be able to get the job they wanted in that organization, or even in the same field/domain. WRONG. You should never let these failures force you into believing that you now can’t achieve any of your dreams. Sure, some things will be harder to reach, but that doesn’t make them unreachable.

Failing interviews doesn’t make you any less of a person, any less intelligent, or any less able to achieve what you want to, than those who may have gotten better results than you.

The most important thing to remember in such a situation is to remain true to yourself; remember who you are, what your strengths are, what you are capable of doing, and what you want to do, and you will get there.
Best of luck for your future endeavors.

With love
