Hello everyone! 
I'm a pretty experienced and really motivated recent(ish) graduate who just joined an incredibly competitive fellowship for motivated and hard working recent graduates who want jobs in the Canadian startup environment. I have entrepreneurial experience (ran my own successful company), have a stellar academic record at a short business diploma I did after my undergrad in psychology (both at a great school) and have been super proactive in my search and am even doing some consulting work for free so I can gain experience in the job market until I get a full time offer.  

Now the problem. I have had about 5-6 second interviews with great companies but only had 1 company show any serious interest to the point of making an offer (I know this is something very few people on this subreddit want to hear but I turned it down, it really wasn't right for what I want to accomplish and the company wasn't one I was psyched on). I have had tons of "We think you're awesome, please stay in touch but we hired this other person" conversations. I really don't know what I could be doing better, I interview well (I've been told this by multiple interviewers) and I really want to work hard for a company doing sales/marketing. I am a bit frustrated that I can't demonstrate my value better. I take full responsibility for not having a job at this point (3 months in - not that long I know but for the amount of interest shown I figured I'd have secured a position by now).

I should be doing better in the "Closing" stage of the interview process, what can I do better?
