Hello Lloyd,

I have been in a similar situation in the past , I have been working in a testing background and recently moved to development and I started finding job once after I quit ( I thought it’s a bad decision at first ) . I must have failed atleast 15+ times and it had shattered my confidence every time . One thing I made myself clear is I shouldn’t give up and I took some time to evaluate myself out of every interview , questions asked , what response I gave , what I should have done , areas I lack confidence . I started working on the areas and questions which I couldn’t answer , went back to basics and over time I gradually cleared first round of interviews . I was able to realise the questions across various companies started repeating and I started getting better . At the end , I had 4 offers in hand and picked the one I liked the most .

Don’t give up !
Concentrate on your areas of improvement!
If possible record your calls and listen where you did mistake
Get feedback from recruiters / companies why they rejected you

All the best !
