How common is rejection?

7

I had my interview 2 days ago for mental health nursing and I think I did horrible 😭 I think it was due to me being nervous, I had my answers planned out and everything but I didn’t say what I wanted to say and kept stuttering. I think I did ok on the scenario section, apart from when the guy asked to explain what compassion meant and I completely bottled it. I just want to know how common is rejection due to a rubbish interview? Do you think I’ll be rejected for not knowing enough?

Being rejected from jobs is common these days. The best advice I can give, is to reach out after 2-3 days after every job interview and ask for constructive feedback.

Sometimes it's hard to tell. My DD still got an offer from what she thought was a poor interview for a healthcare course. At least the experience will help you with interviews for your other choices. :crossedf:
