I also have a history of being close, but no cigar. I think the key is to not give up. I know that sounds trite, but there is something to be said for perseverance. The more times you try, the more chances you have to succeed. If you apply and interview for numerous jobs, you not only give yourself more opportunities, you get interviewing experience, which can help A LOT with confidence. Go to interviews for jobs you don't really think you would want. You will get to rehearse your interviewing skills, and might just accidentally find a job you like!
Also, research research research! Research companies in your area, research interviewing skills, body language, interview answers, research your job skills and what they may qualify you to do. You'll never go wrong with research.
Sorry you were downsized, but try to think of it as an opportunity! Good luck!
