Job interview

So I was applying for an amazing job with great pay.
They sent me a link for video interview and it said they’d give me some time before it started recording to prepare and I could rerecord if I needed to and the site would give me a message to say when it’s my last attempt
The questions were really hard and unexpected
I re-recorded one of them about 2 times and messed it badly up a third time and it automatically submitted it, without any warning
I’ve called the company but now I’m scared I’ve screwed it up

Hello 🙂

Well done on initially being selected for an interview - I am assuming this was your first ever video interview?

I can completely appreciate the questions rattled you, especially when the theme is unexpected. From a hindsight perspective, this is a great experience to have and try to see it as a learning opportunity. It's natural to be nervous and hiring managers understand this. If you've demonstrated the potential in your answers they are looking for I am sure they will call you back - they don't expect you to be flawless.

Have you heard back from the company yet?
