If it’s any consolation, we are going through this here as well. It happens at ALL levels of expertise and experience and sometimes doesn’t even matter how big your network is. Think of it as a missed opportunity for the company that didn’t hire YOU. They are the ones missing out. You’ll get there.

I honestly believe interviews are more for me than for the company hiring me. It sounds cocky, but it means you ask better questions and can gauge if you'll be happy with the role to avoid headaches down the track.

Aw thanks for the support! Yeah it's frustrating...prior to job hunting I felt I was actually good at my job and worthwhile to other employers, but now this whole ordeal has really demoralised me. Just got to keep looking!
