    It may not be as bad as you think it is.... and you don't know how the other person did. They should also be looking at performance over all 3 interviews, not just the last one.....

    Good luck!

    Whenever I had an interview and thought "Yeah I've nailed this" I never got the job, and when I thought "God that was a load of old sh.t" I got offered the job.

    So don't give up yet!

    Same with me. I'm sure they will look at each candidate overall rather than on just this interview. Fingers crossed for you!

    Look a its this way, fait might not have wanted you to get this job cause it was pants! But it has something much more rewarding in store for you in the future.

    Fingers crossed still for you though!

    Me an all - maybe you thought you'd messed up because they asked you questions that you actually had to think about rather than just coming out with 'off pat' answers (which the other person could have done and not impressed the interviewers). Good luck and don't worry 'bout it (easier said than done I know)
  • Thanks for all your messages, but I think thinking about it I really know I didn't do well and just got many disapproving looks and oh why the hell you here type responses !! I feel so disappointed it was a job I wanted for a company I wanted to work for I let myself down at the last moment the other person was internal as well. Arrrrr

    A third interview in person? Take it's a graduate job with a very prestigious company, or a management position.
