Send thank you notes and apologize/explain what happened. Don’t grovel. A simple apology and simple explanation is sufficient. Express your enthusiasm for the role and company.

That is rough! Hopefully your interviewer is sympathetic and humble because that can happen to anyone! You followed up and sent the apology /explanation so there is not much more you can do now but wait to se if you progress to the next steps. Good luck and fingers crossed!

This is one of those situations where everyone understands... but it still tends to leave people unsure. It is sort of like missing an interview because there was an accident and the traffic was bad.

Hopefully, the interview went well enough that it isn't a problem, but if you are a "maybe" it might hurt you.

I wfh for Deloitte and experience connection issues during calls from time to time. If they are professional, they’ll understand. Love the idea of sending a thank you email and explaining the connection issue. Don’t grovel, but just let them know what happened. Good luck!

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
