Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amma Usman" data-source="post: 204082" data-attributes="member: 36740">I’m really sorry about the PFO. It’s completely understandable to feel frustrated, VIs can often feel that way, and the lack of feedback makes it even tougher to gauge what went wrong. It’s also important to acknowledge the progress you’ve made, from post-app rejections last year to reaching this stage now. That’s movement in the right direction.  For VIs, my personal advice is to treat them like you’re recording a TikTok video of yourself dancing, no one else is in the room. It sounds odd, but confidence and energy translate through the screen in ways we don’t always realise. The smallest things contribute: making sure your intonation is clear enough to express enthusiasm, checking for smudges on your camera, and even thinking about how formal you're treating it. I know opinions differ, but I personally show up in a full suit as if it’s a real interview. More than anything, confidence in your own words is key. If you are sure of what you're saying, others will be too. This comes down to knowing your motivations, your CV, and your commercial awareness inside and out. With firm research, it's less about memorisation and more about being natural yet professional, showing that you’ve thought critically about “why us” and how industry developments impact them.And I get it, VIs were a struggle for me too. I kept getting rejected until I took this approach, and things started turning around. You're clearly capable, so don’t let this one setback shake your confidence. Keep going. You've already improved from last year, and with each attempt, you're sharpening your skills. Best of luck!</blockquote>
