Another job interview today, via Zoom. She was over 5 minutes late (I was early, so at least it wasn't my fault this time). I don't think I got it, because I got the whole "we're interviewing other candidates, we'll be in touch" spiel.

Well, harsh lesson learned: I'm going to practice and rehearse my interview skills so that I have a better chance next time. I can't keep having blind faith in myself. I want to leave my current job in the worst way.

That's not necessarily your fault!  First, bad manners of today's work culture.  Second, that interviewer obviously didn't think the interview itself was all that important if he or she was late for it.  They owe you that much when a time and date are set.  Third, they may not have intended to hire anyone anyway regardless of how the interview went.  Lots of places put out ads for jobs and go as far as set up interviews or testing dates but ultimately don't hire anyone - they're just going with the motions (government jobs are infamous for this because they have to by law put out feelers for potential applicants but can't hire anyone due to budget concerns or no legit openings.)  .  

Have courage.
