That alone is very unlikely to lead to a straight and outright rejection. Many firms are aware that interviews can make even the most confident candidates nervous, and they often take that into account. In fact, they know that nerves typically fade once you're settled into a role, so a bit of hesitation in your speech isn’t a dealbreaker.What tends to matter more is the overall clarity and structure of your answers. If your responses are still coherent, well-organised, and you’re clearly trying to convey your points thoughtfully, then you’re still on strong footing. This is especially true if your communication improves as the interview goes on or, in the context of an assessment centre, where they’ve had multiple chances to observe you in different settings. One moment of stumbling will likely be balanced out by stronger moments elsewhere.I’ve been in situations where I felt I wasn’t articulating myself perfectly at first, but I focused on delivering more precise and composed responses as the interview progressed. As long as you’re adapting and giving yourself room to recover, it really doesn’t reflect poorly on you.</blockquote>
