Has anyone bombed their last interview (case or assessment) and still got the job? My assessment went over 10mins and so my interviewers and I didn’t have a chance to exchange much, but I did make an effort to ask if they still have some time and asked more questions related to the role. What are my chances 🥲

This actually happened to me when interviewing for my current role. I reached out after and said I didn’t feel as though it went well and I didn’t get the chance to prove myself, answer questions, etc. They actually loved the judgement and awareness I showed and brought me back in for a second chance. (It turns out, I didn’t do well!) My boss and I still laugh about it to this day, 4 years after she hired me. :)

To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
