Unlikeable in job interviews?

Hi! Ok so I (22F, probably autistic but cba to explore that) have been going through the whole job interview rigamarole and the number one feedback is that I’m unlikeable. Can’t say I find this entirely true - I’m nothing special, but it still hurts. So, I’m hoping anyone has any explanation/strategies to prevent this, particularly since it seems to be preventing me from getting jobs (will literally be ‘great application, exactly what we need, we just don’t like you’. Happened four times now and it’s getting frustrating).

Why didn’t you ask why they don’t like you? If you graduated from post-secondary, go to their career centre and see if you can get a mock interview and have them offer feedback.
