why or why not?

After the initial interview, which I thought went well, I was asked to fill out a packet.

Interviewing for tech jobs (I’m 23 female) and I feel like a lot of them view me as incompetent bc I sound and look young. People often say I look and sound like an 18 year old. I have a child-like voice too thats higher pitched. And I’m an Asian girl. Does this make me seem inexperienced and incompetent? Is this why I keep getting rejected? I’m getting really upset lol
