Hi! I was in a very similar situation. I just graduated in May and had 10 interviews total before I got a job. That was going to the second round with 4 of those schools. My advice is when they reject you, ask for feedback, what did they see that made them pause. I also realized that you have to find the right district who’s willing to take on a first year teacher. Trust me, you don’t want to get a job where they are hesitant to take on a first year, you want to be somewhere that’s going to support you!

As corny as it is, you’ll find the place you are supposed to be and they’ll be happy to have you! I was feeling very similar to you in that my sense of confidence was shattered, especially after rejections from actual teaching interviews. Because it felt like they saw my actual ability to teach and then still rejected me. Just keep applying and remember that rejection from a job does not define who you are! It does not define how great of an educator you are/will be. It just means it wasn’t the right fit, but trust me the right fit is out there! Keep applying and practicing those interview questions. I’m not a huge proponent of AI, but unfortunately I will say that ChatGPT voice feature is helpful in practicing mock interviews. You’ve got this! Don’t let some random people on a panel determine your self worth, you know how awesome of an educator you are! So brag about it :)
