The more confident you seem in a job interview, the better your chances are at getting the job. This often backfires, though. People who are true experts in their field might be asked about something, and if they don't know it, they have the confidence to admit that. Meanwhile, people who are newer to the field will just make something up to try and appease the interviewer. And guess which person will make it to round #2? That's right, the newbie will, while the person with a stronger background will be sent a rejection email.
Once you've recovered from the initial shock and surprise of doing a less-than-stellar interview, you do build character from it. You might wind up with a funny story to tell your friends about. You will certainly learn for next time!
These folks shared some of their most unfortunate job interview experiences — for example, some people get so nervous that they start crying mid-interview. You might still be able to recover from that (especially if you're just starting out!). Other people got literally called out by their own interviewers! Though that must be a harsh kind of criticism to hear in the moment, it's actually very valuable to know exactly what you're doing wrong, so that way, you won't ruin another interview with it.
Interestingly, some people will tell you that the best way to do a job interview is by going with zero expectations. Instead, try to charm the interviewer, and view the entire thing as a conversation, rather than a one-sided barrage of questions.
However, I've also heard that no matter how old or experienced you are, you'll probably always get butterflies in your stomach before a job interview, so… that's worth remembering, too. Even CEOs making 7 figures a year will still get anxious before meeting with a hiring manager! All we can do is learn from our mistakes and be better in the future.
