Interview
I did well in the interview, but I don't know what went wrong. I was confident with my answers and had a good rapport with the panel. They seemed engaged throughout and even appreciated some of my responses. I followed up professionally after the interview, but I never received any clear feedback or reason for rejection, which left me confused. It would have helped to know where I could improve
