"One day the people that didn't believe in you will tell everyone how they met you."

This is true and it's funny. Of course, you'll forgive them but you'll never forget how they made you feel useless by implicitly show that you're not enough.
These people look at you as someone that they can't use because you're only a fresh graduate without any connections and work experience but let me remind you... You are important! You have something! You have potentials!
You have head full of hopes and ideas. Don't lose it. Don't be discouraged. It's a difficult road but you'll be there soon...You just need to fight and continue to move forward! Even small steps will do. If ever you lose your hope because you felt like you're stupid on your first interview, that's okay! It's a difficult learning experience but it's something that we need to accept.
I cried tons of tears and chided myself for failing various interviews but I didn't give up. I continued to better myself everyday (until now I'm still learning), I rehearsed my script (yes I have script, I did it. I searched for various questions and answered it based on my own OJT experience and based on the needs of the company), and I even practiced nonverbal gestures (to act confidently and normal as possible). I have to do it. I have to do impression management and act as if I'm confident but deep down I struggled and impatient to get the position. Of course, I don't show it during interviews but it haunted me when I'm in my solitude.
To cut the story short, I made it. Then, a series of opportunities progressed.
Don't give up. One day, you'll work with people who refused to accept you before. They'll find you because they need you.
Work hard, work smart, and work until those people who discouraged, hurt, refused, and challenged you seek your help.
There's always something that awaits in the future so don't give up now. It's too early to concede. It may be hard for now since you're clouded with doubts, problems, and other things, but soon...you'll be there.
Fight!
