Not Passing First Round SA Interviews

Hey all

I know this topic has been discussed before on here, but I've been having issues with converting in-person interviews to final rounds. I haven't had an issue with getting interviews, and I have a couple of super days coming up due to passing first round phone interviews (two so far), but I have been getting rejected from first round in-person interviews (four so far). Is being too excited in an interview, mannerism, or rambling too much possible reasons for these rejections? For the most part, technicals aren't an issue for me.

 

You're in professional setting. Conduct yourself as if you were sitting in front of a client. Calm, composed, confident, articulate your thoughts clearly, simplify complex processes. As stated above, practice in the mirror or have someone conduct a mock interview for you. Good luck, I am sure you will land something.
