Just finished my NRF telephone interview and I have no idea how I've done. We started a little late because of some logistical issues and that meant that my first answer needed to be compressed a bit and she had to ask me to wrap up. Is that fatal?- Veep9

I have absolutely no clue how I did at the Reed Smith VI. I didn’t stumble or, a specialism of mine in past VIs, trail off mid sentence and stare blankly at the camera. But the questions were framed in such a way, I’m not entirely sure whether I nailed even one answer. Ugh.- Veep9
