FWIW, the last interview I went on, I felt I didn't do well and I still got the job.
Someone who has been job hunting lately can probably advise, but it used to be customary to send a thank you note after the interview. Thank you for the opportunity, etc. and you could add something about how you were excited at the opportunity and if offered the position you'd give it your all. (Someone else will have better words and of course this can be a quick e-mail.)
As if we needed any more examples of how your mom is batshit crazy:Quote

Does she want to get you killed? Doing 40 on an interstate where the speed limit is 60 could definitely do that.

Since I wouldn't have a chaperone in the car, I would actually go the speed limit like a sane person, but I'd be sitting around doing nothing for 15-30 minutes once I got there.

In her mind, the slower I drive, the better. Because people only get into accidents when they're driving fast.

Sorry to hear that, but at least they told you. Some places don't even bother to let applicants know they weren't selected.

Indeed this is a great thing and during my job search last year I always appreciated the rejection letter.
Which, by the way, DOES NOT MEAN YOU SUCK. DO NOT take job search rejections personally. I had an interview with a police department that I absolutely aced. I nailed that sucker like you would not believe and still did not get the job. My spidey senses tell me that they probably hired internally and had to post the job and do official interviews with the public before filling the position, which was probably already earmarked for someone else. However, they did give me the nicest rejection letter I ever got, stating that I made the decision really difficult for them That made me feel pretty good.
The best thing you can do is research. Interviewers expect you to be nervous and awkward, but they also expect you to be able to answer the questions they ask. The job I have now, I got because I honestly said "I love this company, PLEASE take me back, PLEASE PLEASE" and they all thought it was amusing. And it was! Because it's true, I love the company I worked for and walking into a different facility and doing a completely different job than I had been doing did in fact require a buttload of training. But I am passionate about where I work and have loved working for them, and am lucky to be where I am. I believe that in my heart and it comes through in my interviews. They all love me and I love them. This is what you are looking for - a job you can be passionate about and a team you can work well with. An interview is a two way street, remember that.
Good luck next time and do not take it personally!!!

I had a second interview for this place three weeks ago, and neither the recruiter nor the interviewer will return my calls or emails. And that's just fucking rude. I want to spam them with gory photographs, elderly porn shots, etc. I'm so fed up with job searches, and I want to fuck over these haughty bastards.

The job I applied for didn't come through. I know this because they reannounced the job so I guess they didn't take anyone they interviewed. I don't mind not getting the job, but I wish they'd sent me a rejection letter or Email. I think not doing so is poor form, but that's just me.
Life goes on.
