Well done for getting through it! You won't know if you've bombed it until you hear the outcome

People applying to CMS (this question has probably been asked before so apologies) but has anyone done that appraisal from their most recent employer? Don’t think asking my firm to appraise me for another firm would go down well lol

Just wanted to drop by and say you never really know until you hear back! Thought I bombed my TC interview and was pleasantly surprised when I heard a positive outcome- hang in there, I'm sure you did better than you thought (we are our harshest critic after all!) ✨

Very easy to self-criticise after an interview. I've had two ACs, one for a vac and one for a TC, where I was absolutely convinced I bombed it. I'd kick myself over things I'd said and micro-analyse my entire performance. Wasn't worth it- I ended up getting very positive feedback and told that I was close to receiving the offer. You'll probably also find that you performed better than you think.

If you're convinced you've bombed it, then I won't challenge that as only you can know that. However, your feedback will almost certainly be more positive than you think. "It's not a PFO until it's a PFO" applies at interview stage too.

It was kinda tough, ngl. So we’ll see.

Did anyone confirm with Clyde graduate recruitment about the 3 days/36 hours thing?
