If I don't get the job...

I would be disappointed but would try and move on and continue forward. I would wonder why you didn't tell me I was not suitable for the position, also why you apparently didn't think of or mention other positins that may be open and that you are trying to fill... or bother to ask your colleagues if they were interested in what I had to offer... makes me wonder about how your company functions or tries to in spite of "gloss over" type of attitudes.

What Will You Do If You Don't Get This?

I will ask you "why", so I can improve my weak points, and I would be glad if you reply. While I was learning about this company, I already felt that I'm part of it and I've got some interesting ideas for the further work, so I would ask you to keep me in touch, if the vacancy of this position still be free referring to various reasons.

Very disappointed

If I don't get the job, I would be very disappointed (and would be saying to myself: OMG all the effort I put into preparing for the interview and application is wasted!).

If I don't get the job

It won't have any effect. I trust your company and your hiring committee so if i don't get the job then that will mean that it's not the right opportunity for my career growth .
—Guest Mostafa Khedr

What do you think?

I am confident enough to be hired because I wouldn't be sitting here and had this interview if you did not see any qualifications in my application.

If I don't get the job

I will feel bad because this job is what i wanted. I am hungry for it, but Ii have to accept the fact that there is somebody who deserves better than me. I will move on and keep on hunting for another job. I will not give up because I believe God has better plans for me.
