Business and finance blog The Wisdom Journal shares a set of techniques for handling interview rejection including debriefing yourself.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Interview rejection is rarely personal. Take a few moments after each interview and go through a “debriefing” period by asking yourself a few questions:
- What did I learn from this interview?
- Was I as prepared as I thought?
- What could I have done or said differently?
- How can I be better prepared for my next interview?
While, on the surface, elementary in nature the questions can help you form a plan of attack for your next interview by objectively evaluating your interview experience.
