Dear NICU staff that I interviewed with today

I apologize for choking so badly. I have no idea how I thought I was prepared when in reality I was the furthest thing from prepared.

Wow, what a time suck that was for you guys, I am so very sorry.

I really honestly thought I had it together, HA!

Geez, that was a bad interview!:(

Don't beat yourself up about it. See it as a learning experience :) Now you have an idea of what you should (and should not) do next time.

Interviews are tough and not necessarily the best way to hire someone; although darned if I could come up with another way.

You could follow up with a telephone call saying you choked, but are still very interested in the position. Otherwise, just hugs :).

Maybe you didn't do as bad as you thought you did. I went on a job interview where I shouldn't have even had the interview to begin with because I did not meet the education/experience requirement and I was happy just to even get the interview. Well, I went in and the interview was not one of my finest performances! Infact, I had it set in my mind I wasn't getting the job even before I left HR to go talk with the hiring manager. Then I went and talked to her and I had an even worse interview with her. Turns out, I got the job. I don't know if it was because I was very persistent with the follow ups or if they were desperate..maybe a bit of both!! The moral of the story is, don't give up. Follow up with them and show you are really interested in the job. Good luck.
