For those who know, I leave my job on Tuesday (today is Friday) and I have nothing to go to, though am still getting interviews. I went for three last week in the same educational establishment and was contacted this morning and turned down for all three. I got feedback, though a lot of the time it's limited in its helpfulness.

The thing that annoys me is that I know the answers to the questions and I know how I would deal with the scenarios they present to me, but I am a tongue-tied interviewee with the result that I spout nonsense. I don't present myself in an interview as well as I would in the job or in reality. "Not articulating level of detail" is one element of feedback.

I get the "rabbit in headlights" scenario all the time when I am in interviews.  I think the fact that my life solely consists at the moment of work - stay behind and spend three hours on an application - go home at 9pm and spend another three hours on preparing for tomorrow's interview - rinse and repeat ........... is exhausting me and not helping.

It's also the case that I go for whatever jobs I can, that I may not have in depth experience of just so I can be in work - and therefore don't have all the answers.
