[quote=Anonymous]I have been looking for a job for 8 months and finally made it to an in person interview. And I bombed it. No excuses whatsoever. I feel like a failure. This was for a senior data analyst position. I passed the written test no issues there.

The interview was hard. Probably the hardest interview I have had. They didn't ask a single technical question. They only asked behavioral questions. The interviewers were really good. Perhaps despite a 15 years work experience, I never faced real challenges because they kept asking for specifics examples in situation I have never been in. I guess I have been so lucky to have been part of very successful teams that always deliver on time and without internal conflicts.

Then I made a rookie mistake by exaggerating a scenario to answer one of the question. I kind of got frustrated from all the scenarios they were asking about to which I had no examples to share. And there were instances of awkward silence because I couldn't readily come up with examples.

It sucks. [/quote]
