Finally an interview after 8 months, but failed miserably

You blew the interview, rookie mistake. You were not prepared.

My kids school suggests reach out to drone there recently hired in your connections and ask for a mock interview. My kid did this and got job as most questions she prepared for ahead.

And it's not always the best inerviewes who get the job. The person who gets the job is the one they can relate to in some personal level. Even if you "bombed" every question, if they like you they will give you the job.

You are also facing steep competition. In every sector, the quality of unemployed people currently on the market is staggering. I am not exaggerating if I say this may be time where we had the highest number ever of qualified and experienced people looking for work.

Don't give up. Keep grinding. Take the rest of the year off. If you have family spend time with them. If not, friends. If neither try therapy. You need to recharge. Ill be the first to admit sometimes I spend more time online talking to strangers as opposed to spending time with family/friends. Don't neglect your mental health.

Good luck

It depends on the organization. For some there is a score for each question that the interviewers are required to assign, then all scores are added together with a final score. So, it is not always who the interviewers connected to.

If you connect with the interviewers, they will assign you a higher score. It’s human nature.
