In this career‑coaching video, Natalie Fisher addresses why job candidates repeatedly fail interviews and offers three immediate, actionable strategies to improve future performance. First, she recommends conducting an interview debrief—writing down what went well, what didn’t, and crafting better answers for problematic questions—to turn each interview into a learning experience. Second, she advises asking the hiring manager for feedback, providing a polite, pre‑written email template that emphasizes personal growth and signals professionalism, even though a response isn’t guaranteed. Third, she stresses thorough preparation by promoting a free downloadable guide that contains a formula for answering any interview question, sample answers to the ten most common behavioral questions, and 25 self‑reflection prompts to generate personal stories quickly. Throughout, Fisher frames failure as a natural part of the growth process, encouraging a resilient mindset. The video concludes with typical YouTube calls to action—liking, subscribing, watching related videos—and a light‑hearted note about her dog and birthday.

This is where you're gonna sit down with a pen and paper and just review what went well and what didn't go well. What will you improve next time, and what will you keep going at? What will you keep doing that felt really good and went really well? Were there questions that triggered you that you didn't know how to answer? Were there questions that you really struggled with? That's okay. Write them down and come up with better answers for next time. Experience is what it's all about, and failing is part of the game. Ask for feedback. It's important to understand that you may not receive the feedback you're looking for here, but if you do, it can be worth so much to ask. And the way that you ask is hugely important. So I suggest you ask— say something like this: Thank you so much for meeting with me. I enjoyed the chat, and I totally understand you didn't go forward with my application. In my commitment to be the best I can be in my field, I'm always looking to better understand what I could be doing better when interviewing. I'd love to know What the reasons were you decided not to continue with my application were, please take a moment and let me know. I would truly appreciate it. Sincerely, your name. P.S. I understand the easy answer may be that I wasn't the right fit or that you went with with someone else. I would truly appreciate the specific reason, and let me assure you that the only reason I'm inquiring is for the sake of my own personal growth. So you may not get any reply. You may not get an answer, or you may get a generic answer, but this will give you the best chance you have of bringing to light anything that you could have changed or that you could have improved. And if nothing else, it shows that you are a quality candidate who is striving to do better, and that is always something attractive to employers. And there you have it, 3 specific things that you can do if you keep failing at job interviews. And remember, failure is part of this process. You will not succeed every time. You're not supposed to succeed every time. It's okay because you're learning, evolving, growing, and failing. The more you fail, the more chance you have of succeeding.
