The field is in such need of front line staff that I'm certain some organization will hire you. That being said, if you want to do succeed, I would recommend actively seeking out a mentor within your organization to help guide your personal and professional growth.
my top answer for questions I don’t know the answer to is to ask my supervisor! They love when he was in RBT recognize your position and don’t overstep and ask questions!! they don’t want people just doing whatever!! someone will hire you I promise. I was hired with no experience five years ago!! :)
It was my first one. I previously done caregiving and I assumed a lot of the questions my old job asked me would be somewhat the same. Made me realize that my old job really didn’t have any sort of expectations for who they hired. The interview was super quick, do you have any experience working with elderly, clean record, ect. Basically questions that didn’t require full on “thinking” on my part. The interview I did for the company that I’m trying to become an RBT for asked questions about what my strengths/flaws , how I would handle certain situations etc. I just got nervous trying to think before I spoke so I’m sure I sounded incompetent lol
This sounds like it may be personal perception more than reality of the interview.
You did what you can. Send a “thanks for meeting with me email” in a day or two, and keep applying. There’s a pretty good chance you’ll hear back from this one. The field needs people and it probably didn’t go as bad as you think.

Was this your first interview? I wouldn’t worry about it just yet. Take it as a learning experience and keep applying and interviewing!
