I applied for an assistant manager position within my bank. I had my interview today and feel like I totally bombed it. I had the worst time trying to form a cohesive statement or thought the entire time. im sure I did fine... I just hate interviews..... especially since ive known the interviewers for several years now. *sigh* wish me luck.... hope I get it.

I had interviews like that where I thought I did terrible. Then found out later the interviewer thought I nailed it, so you never know. Best of luck!!0

They'll give you the job just because you wear a kilt.

I know you probably don't want to hear this but everything happens for a reason. What that is who knows? Keep your head up and something will come up much better than this!3

The same thing happened to me when I tried to do an interstate transfer with a company I used to work for a few years ago. I was told it was down to me and one other guy so my wife and drove out to the "new" city and checked out houses and schools and everything.
I didn't get the job!!
I was upset until I found out 4 months later they decommissioned that job completely. So it worked out for me in the end. As mentioned above, sometimes things happen for a reason and it takes awhile for that reason to become clear.

Rage here.
When there you need to keep your head up, smile, and prove that they should have given it to you.
I'm probably saying this wrong, but Non carborundum illigitimi, which, if I said it correctly, means; don't let the bahstids burn you.

Hate to tell you this, but this is absolutely the norm with most corporations for just about anything other than entry-level jobs. Managers promote or hire the people they know or those who come in through recommendations from others. If you get the interview any way other than being asked by the boss, it's almost always certain that you'll be nothing more than the courtesy victim.LiquidChaos66 said:This just in.....

I love that phrase. It is pseudo-Latin (meaning it is a modern 'made up' Latin phrase), but the sentiment is absolutely bloody brilliant:
"Don't let the bastards grind you down"
Amos has the right of it. Keep kicking as.s, keep your head up, keep your butt down, keep on smiling and prove they should have given it to you.
Good things are coming, Chris.
