This literally drove me insane, like, I'm not a computer

Every time something flashed on the screen, my finger twitched 🤣

All my years gaming wasted 😭

It was a written case study, a client style role play interaction, Motivation/Comp questions with a partner and briefing a partner on a business case study. It was virtual as well.

Okay cheers. I am still waiting to hear back about Bristol, as apparently they are inviting for ACs in January. Thanks very much.

I was like this all of this week, but I'm like not available tomorrow so I HAVE to get it done today 😭

 

[jojo23]

😂 no clue haha, though I know that the reaction time thing is more so to see how adaptable you are when you make a mistake (how you recover). But like when will I ever need to judge someone's emotions based off an AI-generated version of their face (which excludes everyday body language and tonal cues?)

If only they could see our faces during the test😭
Had me stress eating afterwards
