<p>However, she received a call from a company staff member at 1:49 PM, requesting her to join the Zoom meeting earlier than planned.</p>
<p>Feeling confident and prepared, she agreed—only for her phone, which had been functioning perfectly, to start malfunctioning at the worst possible time.</p>
<p>She detailed how the device became unresponsive, making it difficult to open her email and access the Zoom link.</p>
<p>Even after successfully opening the link, the phone continued hanging, forcing the interviewer to suggest switching to WhatsApp.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, she encountered another issue when the app failed to recognize the interviewer’s number.</p>
<p>Every alternative suggested by the interviewer was equally unsuccessful due to her phone’s inexplicable glitches.</p>
<p>Even attempts to use WhatsApp calls proved futile, as the interviewers couldn’t hear her clearly.</p>
<p>This technical fiasco left her distressed and near tears, particularly as she had been confident about acing the interview.</p>
<p>despite the setbacks, she later discovered that the company had rescheduled the interview as a physical meeting, offering her another chance to prove herself.</p>
<p><strong>Here is her full statement: </strong></p>
<p><em>“I had a virtual interview today and I’m still cringing from embarrassment and shame. It was a zoom interview and I was ready to go. Or so I thought..”</em></p>
<p><em>“It was scheduled for 2pm and the interviewer called me by 1:49 to ask if I could please join the meeting, I said sure. I’d done my homework on the company and their products so I didn’t mind.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I went to open my email and my phone started hanging. Problem. Serious hanging, my email wasn’t opening and when it did, I couldn’t click on their mail inviting me for the interview.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I wanted to cry. I thought for sure, my enemies were after me. I was able to open the mail around 2:00pm and I clicked on the zoom link, my phone was still hanging. Atp, I was almost in tears because I thought I had this job in the bag before this whole drama.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The interview kept calling my line to know what the problem was. Then she suggested we use WhatsApp. I said sure. I put her number on my WhatsApp and it was telling me to “invite to Whatsapp”. She already told me that was her Whatsapp number.”</em></p>
<p><em>“My phone kept hanging and hanging. It was too late to restart my phone cus I knew it’d take like 5 mins or more to restart. She called again and offered to send me a WhatsApp message instead. I wanted to throw my phone against the wall but I knew I won’t get a replacement.”</em></p>
<p><em>“She sent me a WhatsApp message and we proceeded to Whatsapp calls. She added the MD of the company and the senior HR person. They couldn’t hear me at all. I could hear them but my own line was breaking.”</em></p>
<p><em>“By now, I was so destabilized. When they asked “tell me about yourself” I was stammering. This is question I can answer in my sleep o. I couldn’t speak English again. Ei god. They sha still said they couldn’t hear me. Then the senior HR said I could leave the call.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I wanted to leave the call but I couldn’t. I pressed the end icon, nothing. My phone was hanging. The woman kept telling me to leave the call but I couldn’t. Oh chim. I tried to turn off my data, nothing, tried to put on airplane mode, lailai. My phone refused.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The woman said Joy, leave the call oooo” I was so embarrassed. They did say they’d get back to me, because they couldn’t hear me. And in the end, I had to turn off my phone to leave the call. I just sat for a few minutes marinating in my mortification.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Funny thing is, before the interview, I thought it’d go so well. It was a restaurant and that’s my turf. I didn’t know my phone had something else planned for me. After the call, I texted the interviewer an apology and I’m just hoping they reschedule.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Guys, after I saw several comments saying I should send an apology mail instead and asked for a reschedule, I decided to do that. I crafted a message and was about to hit send when I received a mail from the interviewer. They RESCHEDULED.”</em></p>
<p><em>“They rescheduled since after our call and I didn’t even know. Mind you, I check my mails as often as humanly possible. My Gmail was hanging so bad, I couldn’t even scroll up, down and that’s how I missed their mail. I saw it hours later. Now I have a physical interview with them.”</em></p>
<p><em>“You guysssss, thank you so much. I didn’t think I was going to get this much support. You guys are amazing for real. Thank you so much. I will do my best in the interview, for you guys and for myself.”</em></p>
