But these tips can help you recover and better prepare for the next one:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><strong>Be kind to yourself<\/strong><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Never use the quality of the interview as a benchmark of your professional standing as a candidate. A bad interview cannot take your professional attributes and talent away from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Many times a hostile interviewer can throw you off, and although messing it up the interview sucked, don&rsquo;t beat yourself up for it. Thank your interviewer anyway, and set your sights higher from here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><strong>Learn from the experience<\/strong><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Once you have recovered from the disastrous interview, try to think of what went wrong and write it down, if you must. Then go through it and think about how you would like to handle the next interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><strong>Follow up with enthusiasm<\/strong><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Despite feeling defeated from that tough interview, follow up with a thank you note. If you really believe you have blown your interview, ask your interviewer for honest feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">While not everyone is going to get a second shot at the job interview, this helps to make the right impression. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you just walk out of an interview, feeling like you&rsquo;ve completely blown your chances at landing that dream role?
