Keep your chin up. At my last unsuccessful interview I was given the impression I was the 2nd choice but a couple weeks later saw the job add open again. Turns out they had landed on one ideal candidate who later turned down their offer. Instead of coming back to me they decided to re-open the search to find someone similarly ideal. Not sure when they filled the roll but it worked out for me when I found a better job a few months later.

I interviewed with a software company out based in Switzerland back in the fall. I had to prepare two presentations. One was me pretending to sell their product, the other was me pitching an enhancement to their product. A lot of larger IT companies will put you through hell if you want the job. I know two people that were lucky enough to get an IT job at Amazon and both had to go through something like 10 rounds of interviews and tests along the way. Microsoft, HP, etc are all like that if you want to work for them.
