Dammit!

I repeat and repeat the same mistakes. Today, I interviewed for a TA-ship and totally bombed it. Embarrassing. I think the guy liked how I test graded the paper and then I just said the stupidist shit during the interview, had no decent questions for him, and now I feel like I won't get hired.

It's the same thing with my NYU interview for film school, I just went in totally unprepared and more or less got laughed out of there.

One must absolutely bullshit and give the person doing the hiring every reason to hire you when applying for things like this - and not give them any reason to not hire you. It's simple, simple, stuff, and I mess it up often.
