[QUOTE="Ruby96, post: 93699, member: 3566"] My first ever vac scheme interview, the partner apologised for not having any still water and asked if sparkling was fine. I, very absently due to the sheer terror of coming across as anything but agreeable, said no problem, that's fine. 20 minutes later, during a particularly stressful question posed to me by said partner, I remembered reading somewhere that one should take a sip of water when unsure how to answer a question. Grabbed my glass to take quick swig, remembering two seconds too late that it was sparkling water, but alas was too late to stop the coughing and spluttering that ensued, along with the glass spilling all over the desk. The partner, wiping off her besmirched glasses with an unamused expression, asked no further questions. I did not get the position. [/QUOTE]
