When one blows an interview...

...is there anything to be done aside from cutting losses and taking it for what it is?

I had a (skype) interview with my top school yesterday for a TA position. The TA position is for teaching a foreign language and was conducted in said language. However, I was incredibly nervous and I ended up rambling on in incoherent sentences. It was a train wreck and I wasn't able to adequately show the competency and proficiency I feel I have in the language.

 

Part of me wants to e-mail the interviewer/person in charge of these placements and express these thought/concerns but I also feel like that might just come across as amateur/pitiful/weak and only hurt my situation. 

Any thoughts on this at all? Advice would be appreciated.

I think if you're really worried about it, it might not hurt to write a follow up "Thank you" note in the language of the interview, showing some skill in that way. It's kind of a cheap trick, but maybe you could say something like "I really enjoyed our conversation, and I wanted to expand a little bit on my answers"--then bam, slip in a little bit of what you might have said were you more confident. Because your username is higehiru, sono mensetsu no kotoba wa nihongo datta no kana. Good luck.
