1)Honestly, I am feeling a bit deflated. I feel like a lot of the jobs that I have applied for recently, including the ones that I reviewed for this challenge are ones that I fit 80-90% of what they’re looking for, however it seems like there’s something unwritten that they are wanting too, as I haven’t been successful in getting interview, or getting the feedback that they want someone with more experience, but that my soft skills are great.
2)I feel confident sometimes with my general knowledge but some other times I fall a bit on the 'imposter syndrome', and the feedback I have been getting doesn't help with that, so I'm looking into collaborating to some projects that can give me some experience, which is what I need, some real projects.
P.S.
I hope this doesn't sound like a rant, but there's a reason I'm in this cohort :)

Hey Rodrigo, Hang in there - hopefully through this program we'll be landing a few more interviews! I do agree that projects (either solo or with others) are a helpful way to build up some experience to address the lack of experience issue.
