Mom walked in my zoom meeting in the middle of an interview
Interview Experience
Title says what happened. I was on a zoom meeting to interview for a position I am really excited about and hope I get. In the middle of the interview, my mom comes home from being out for a bit and starts mouthing and whispering to me on the other side of the computer. From this, I get distracted and start fumbling for a couple minutes. Was already nervous for this interview bc like I said I really hope I get this position. She stood there until the interview was over. Out of nervousness, since our front door is kinda loud I said that I was a bit distracted bc my mom just got home. Will this mess up my chances of getting the job? It was so embarrassing. Also the person who interviewed me was the director of the whole county for this company. She seemed super chill about it but ahhh Update: got an email to schedule a second interview for this position. Feel like I got lucky after this whole thing but at the same time second interview doesn’t mean u got the job. At least I’m working my way up the process… not going to be home at the time of the next interview so currently researching some places I can go in the area I’ll be in so I don’t have to do it in my car :/ Update 2: GOT THE JOB! Hope I don’t regret my decision bc after seeing that contract it’s going to be a lot but going to college for this and already being in the field for 5 years I kinda signed up for it lol - first time doing a full day of it though in a couple years. Update 3: I quit after 4 days… there was some stuff going on that shouldn’t have and was having a mental breakdown every chance I could get the whole time. Let’s just say I’m in a grieving period still… it’s been a couple weeks now but it’s still hurting. I’m grateful to be at my mom’s job until I can find something else but this is all I can think about. This was the career I was meant to be doing but after this experience it has really turned me off almost completely. Don’t even have the energy to look for something else rn
