The Technical Writer Job

I had another interview on Friday, but I feel like I'm starting to lose my exuberance in this chase. The interview went surprisingly well. They really seemed to like me and they kept reiterating how I seemed to be the perfect fit for this particular job. I'm not sure why, but I feel pessimistic.

I feel exhausted with this whole process from all of these "no"s I keep being given. I used to get excited for any interview I was given, and even if I could tell that I was not going to fit with the company I interviewed for, I would tell myself, "At least I got experience in interviewing." I don't want to tell myself that anymore. I want to have a career. I don't feel like I need to receive any more experience in interviewing. If I go to an interview now and find out that they want much more experience than what I have, I get resentful. I try not to be, but I feel like my time is being wasted. I sent my resume to show what my qualifications and experience are, so it surprises me that when the interviewers narrow their candidates after interviewing for a job, I am cut because I don't have the experience. Can't that be seen in my resume?

I've had a few interviews in the past that I felt went really well, but then I didn't get the job. Maybe I just don't know how a good interview goes yet? Maybe the interviews that I see that have gone well really are only slightly better than the bad ones, but still not great.
