[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 191780, member: 36740"] Hey there [USER=37083]@tcla02[/USER] , I totally get where you‘re coming from. Things like this happen, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. [B][I]Let me give you an example;[/I][/B] During one of my VIs in the past for a first year scheme, I completely froze. I was lost on what to say. I accidentally ended my answer with the word “Omo”. This is basically a Nigerian slang that means.. “I am speechless”. I didn’t get invited to the AC after this. However, I used it as a learning opportunity to avoid using filler words in my sentences. This helped me improve my subsequent performance for VIs and I started getting more interview offers during the VS application cycle. Regardless, please bear in mind that ending your VI with “so yeah” doesn’t automatically mean a rejection. I would just say to be mindful moving forward, but don’t beat yourself up about this - at the end of the day, we’re only human and mistakes like this happen. Just take a look at the example I gave you from my own personal experience. The point I’m trying to make is that…I felt like giving up after that minor VI slip up. If I had, I would not be where I am today. [/QUOTE]
