The interview went badly, the verdict is final: your application was not selected. In this case, no question of getting depressed, the goal is to bounce back, and quickly! Here's how.
Bounce back after a failed interviewStay on good terms
You thought this position was made for you and yet you did not seduce the recruiters? Even if you can legitimately be disappointed, above all remain a good sport, because it would be a shame to burn yourself with a banking group by reacting with a discourteous email. Who knows, maybe your application failed by a hair's breadth and will it work for another position later on...
Learn from your mistakes
It is perfectly possible to ask why your application failed. For example: "Can I know what played against me?" Recruiters are not required to tell you, but in some cases you will have an answer, and it will necessarily be instructive. You will then know if it was your profile that did not suit or if it was mistakes that you made in the interview that caused you to fail. Note for next time.
Keep your spirits up
Yes, it is sometimes demoralizing to get turned down. Especially since the recruitment processes of banks can be particularly trying and tedious. But lamenting your fate is useless, quite the contrary: it can lead you into a negative spiral detrimental to your job search. Stay positive, you will eventually succeed in passing another interview. And on that day, you will need to regain confidence and a smile, to show yourself at your best!
