It's also important to dress in alignment with the industry you are applying with. Smile, make eye contact, make sure your cell phone is turned off. Be on time, in fact arrive early so you can relax and breathe before meeting with the interviewer.
There are various reasons you may not get a position. Lots of competition out there. But you may also be overqualified. Don't be discouraged, keep looking and keep trying. Every interview experience is good practice and will help prepare you for the next time.

I am happy to offer advice that may help you get hired.
Setting yourself apart from other candidates is key to getting a good shot at the position.
First, when applying for a position make sure you meet the requirements of the role to be considered a viable candidate. Second, make sure your resume aligns with the job posted (you want to talk about previous experiences that align with the job in which you have applied for). Finally, once you have scheduled your 1st interview, make sure you arrive 10-15 minutes early whether in person or virtually. Being prepared is extremely important (research - the company, culture, employee reviews), excellent eye contact, staying engaged, prepared questions pertaining to the role/company (be sure to use different questions for each interviewer), have a handy copy of your resume to share and refer to during your interview. If you are interviewing virtually, dress to impress, make sure you have a solid internet signal and you are able to connect to the link provided, a clean/clear background so there are no distractions taking you away from the stage, the camera should only show you from your chest up and should be level with your face.
Be sure to silence your cell phone and never use your work computer.

Hi tim
I recently have the opportunity to interview some candidates, i must remark im not in the human resources department, im a network consulting engineer and i was in charge of interviewing candidates that already pass that filter, so one thing that i really focus is in the attitude of the candidate if it came to strong and we feel it did not match our company values it was a deal breaker, and also if the candidate was the opposite meaning shy, does not talk or participate too much, then it was also a deal breaker.

Another big reason a person would not be hired during the interview process would be not being punctual. Being late to the interview shows that you don't value the opportunity and your interviewer may find it disrespectful as well. A personal rule of thumb is to always arrive 15 minutes early. That gives you time to sit down, relax, and mentally prepare yourself for the interview, while also giving your interviewer time to finish any task they may be working on and get ready for the interview.
