Does internet disconnect hurt my chances of getting a job? I had a final interview today for a remote job and was practically offered the job but at the last minute of interview, my internet didn't work. When I joined 5 min later, interview had already left. I sent an email expressing apology but haven't gotten a reply. I am felling anxious. Will I get rejected because of the internet issues?

It shouldn't, stuff happens and reasonable companies are typically understanding. That said, I do have to say I'm surprised a backup phone in or email wasn't provided in case of an issue. Most tech people can connect to a conference via their phone in an emergency. Sounds like this is maybe what you did 5 minutes later. The lesson to be learned here is to connect 5 minutes early "just in case" things don't go as planned and if it is via an app you don't normally use, earlier than that or pre-test it.

Thanks for the response. If it happens again, I will be sure to check for the provided phone and check that
