You don’t have to fail an interview to not get a job. You just have to not be the best.
Maybe someone else answered questions faster or more confidently. Maybe someone else’s background is more aligned. Maybe someone else clicks more.
Remember there is the minimum score to get a job and the competitive score.
There is no such thing as “finding excuses” for the most part. They didn’t like you, didn’t feel confident in you, or liked someone else better.
Are you really answering questions correctly? I’ve never seen an interview where I can confidently say I answered everything absolutely correctly, meaning “the most correct”. Asked the best questions, answered the most optimal algorithm, explained it the smoothest way possible, etc.
If you think you have, you likely have a perception problem. Ask yourself those questions again, video record yourself answering them and watch yourself.

- Aeolun 4y agoOh, there’s definitely those moments where you see the interviewers face fall, their eyebrow raise, or repeat the same question multiple times. But that doesn’t necessarily mean your answer was wrong, just that the interviewer thought it was. I dunno, my current employer is happy with me, and all employers have always been happy with me for going on 14 years now. I’m rather inclined to think I’m more likely to be correct than the little snot interviewing me and asking me dumb JS doc questions.
