> How do you personally deal with fails?

When it comes to interviews, there are two types of fail:

1. The kind where I walk out saying to myself, "Yeah I couldn't answer those technical questions, so I probably don't deserve this job because I'm not ready yet".

2. The kind where I feel that I answered everything right. I realize that when it comes to those fails, there are so many factors out of my control that it's probably not my fault. Maybe one of the interviewers was having a bad day. Maybe they had one specific answer in mind and I didn't get, and I don't want to work with someone so inflexible anyway.

There are a thousand reasons that have little to do with you as to why you may not get a job. Just knowing that should make you feel better.
