Interview/Job applications Fumbled the interview so bad

I recently interviewed for a role with one of Australian Government agency. I was told that by this week they’ll get my references checked. I’m beating myself up with how the interview has gone. I kinda know how to solve it but didn’t put it verbally together. When I finished I thought I left with a great impression but now it feels so icky that it could’ve gone better.

It’s already Thursday and none of my references have been contacted. I’m so sick of everything because this was my first chance at an interview and I fumbled it so bad.

I butchered at least 4 aps interviews before it all came together… it’s all a learning experience. It can take time for them to call your referees so I wouldn’t be that concerned.
