I am actually crying...I hate Word...I spent 5hrs catching up on lecture notes (a lot of notes) last night all the way till 2am and I just realised I closed the doc and accidentally pressed "don't save". I'm actually going to jump out the window 😭

Hey guys, is it a bad sign if an interview lasts 50 minutes but they said it would last around an hour?
When I’ve interviewed people at my job, we’ve given them offers even if they didn’t use the whole interview time.

Usually doesn’t flag as an issue unless you went WAAAY under or over. So 10 minutes definitely wouldn’t flag as an issue.
