Massively messed up a timed modeling case today. Wasn’t even able to finish in the allotted time... The VP I’m interviewing with is super nice though, so is it worth it to take a second stab at it and send him the finished version asking for feedback? Do you think that could salvage the situation or should I just take my losses?

You wouldn't lose out on anything if you take another stab, so why not

Couldn’t hurt and honestly I’d appreciate the tenacity a move like this would show.

Yes!!

Would you mind sharing where you messed up? Lessons learned?

And definitely go that route, it shows you are serious about the opportunity and proactive to correct mistakes!

Got it! Tks for the quick response. Best of luck.

Looking for some advice; I've been a paralegal for about 5 years now, and the past year or so has been hard. One firm closed, which dropped me in another firm which was never good for me, and then into another with a culture that was really unhealthy to me. My resume shows a few short stays at firms, and now I'm looking at moving after six months due to issues that turned over the entire paralegal team so far except for me. How do I show employers I'm a dedicated worker after a difficult year?
