apsa3038ybe positive. take the interviews as feedback.
if possible consider further study, try out of city, state jobs. you will find your edge. my best wishes for your success. -
@apsa Thanks a ton! I should at least feel great to have even had first (and sometimes second) interviews for roles that were so obviously out of my league 😅
-
BartBB6898yYou should write down all the things you couldn't answer and research and study them. Good luck with your job searching!
-
Welcome to devRant! It only takes one yes. Do not give up. Ask why you did not get the job. Constructive criticism helps. Keep going.
-
@BartBB That's a really good way of looking at things. Normally I try to just think of how I can speak better and sort of steer the conversation in a way, but your suggestion helps a lot. Ever gotten a potential employer that wouldn't respond to asking for feedback?
-
@Jumpshot44 Very true, sometimes I forget that. Thanks! Ever had a potential employer not respond when asking for feedback?
-
BartBB6898ySorry, never had that happen to me since I never went to a job interview. (finished college and joined the army; 19 yo right now)
But I'm sure they won't ignore you, give it a shot.
Best of luck, truly.

@Letmecode I'd give you a million +1s if I could for this, thank you! Sometimes I forget that I'm not the only one in an environment where failure is almost common. Probably because I don't have any friends who are devs Í¡° ͜ʖ Í¡°

It gets better the more interviews you go to, act confident and you will feel it.
You got this :)
Anyone else have major issues with confidence when applying for jobs?
I've been going for mainly junior positions aggressively since the top of the year and I can't get over all the failed interviews. Feels like I'll be stuck doing computer repairs forever instead but I'm trying to stay positive though.
