I also thought i'd mention since you came on PC and thus, chances are, are mentally ill... there is also the possibility of depression doing you in. I do not deny inexperience being a factor but also consider the factor of depression. I am naturally fine socially, most of the time, intuitively knowing what to say and when to smile and how to be charming, but not when depressed. I lost two interviews a year ago despite having a perfectly fitting resume, and when I look back, I see two common factors. I had strong visible hand tremor from Depakote (which I have since dropped) and I was depressed and lost. So I did not shine. Employers do not want to hire girls with poorly hidden sadness and despair in the eyes and shaking hands. And not just employers. Keep it in mind.
Thanks for this!
