not getting the job, failing the interview

the WORST thing you can do to yourself is to BLAME YOURSELF or to feel something is wrong with you. when you don't get accepted for a job, it does not mean you are worth nothing or that you have done something terribly wrong or you failed one or all the things you did (interview, test, panel, workshop).

the truth is you hire someone using the BEST FIT principle, not as much as hire the best person for the job. now best fit could be anything, it could be budget (another applicant willing to work for less), or plain vibes (personality fits the job more) --- there's no one formula. interviewers like you are humans.

so when you don't get a job, don't be too harsh on yourself. learn from it, and move on.

now whats an analogy ---- might sound corny but this reminds me of the gf-bf thing. you can't get all the women you court to be your gf. sometimes you like the person but no chemistry so you don't get into it. sometimes the thinking part does not work but the chemistry is great so you go into it. sometimes you really don't like the person but you cant put your finger into why so, so you don't pursue. but whatever happens, you learn from the situation and you move on.
