    I attended an interview yesterday for a job I really really want but I did a deplorable interview... I'm raging with myself, completely forgot half of the stuff I should have said and just did myself a real disservice. Is there anything I can do to make it better. Is it worth sending an email, and acknowledging the fact that I realize I underperformed? Or just leave it? They said I would hear within a couple of days, but I'm already aware that there's no way they would hire me based on the interview. I so desperately want to fix this, I am more than capable of the job... Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I think it would be good to wait for a few days and then contact them regarding the interview.

    No, the interview is finished. It's done. Move on.

    For the job I have now, I emailed the interviewer afterwards and apologised for my poor interview stating I was very nervous as I really wanted the job.

    After I started with them he told me it was the follow on email showing how much I wanted the job that swung it for me.

    Don't beat yourself up about it. Realistically there isn't anything you can do to recover from a bad interview (if it's as bad as you've described) so you're better off focusing your energy on the next opportunity.

    Amy, how can you prevent this from happening in the future?
