What Happened During The Interview?

I made a very stupid mistake by being very careless in the first place and rushing too much for the interview. My friends were also being interviewed the same week so I was all hyped up for job applications and preparations. I made a classic mistake of not reading the date correctly.

How Did the Interview Turn Out?

The email I received said the interview date was on the 13/02/2012 but then I thought it was on friday the 13th of January ! So I actually turned up for an interview not an hour earlier, but a month earlier!

Advice

  • Well -- obviously don't make a silly mistake of not going through the details properly. Lucky for me the interview venue was very close to where I lived, not miles away !
