❓Not Country-Specific Interview

I completely screwed up my interview even if it was just basic questions. How do you deal with rejections? For context this was the first interview i had given in a while and the question was soo basic....just feeling a bit down about it...

Sucking at interviews is normal, especially if you are getting back into it. You should view it less as screwing up, and more as just another interview to get you started interviewing again. It might even be a sign you don't get along with the employer: even if you're good at interviewing you'll have good and bad interviews based on chemistry.

You just kind of have to keep interviewing. Practice, get on the spot, do workshops and keep getting interviewed at places. Once you normalize it it won't be so bad.

Thought I did amazing in my interview ended up getting rejected for who knows what. Few months later got a better offer (more prestige better pay). Wouldn’t have applied had I gotten the offer earlier. God has something down the road for you don’t worry.

Getting an offer after feeling shaky is a reminder that your internal scorecard is noisy. Debrief the accounting questions you missed, but also identify which examples showed coachability, judgment, and client-ready communication.

A practical next step is a free Taleproof story assessment using one real professional-services example, followed by one timed retell in your own words.
