[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 228017, member: 42112"] Hey! I'm really sorry to hear about that situation - it's incredibly frustrating when things go wrong that are out of your control. It's difficult to say either way, and I couldn't say whether an individual firm has a policy on adjusting outcomes for technical issues, even when they're genuine. That said, emailing them promptly and clearly explaining what happened was absolutely the right thing to do, and it means the issue is at least on record. A weaker first answer doesn't automatically equal a PFO, especially if the rest of your interview was solid and they know you had technical issues to deal with. I'd say that the graduate recruitment team are generally aware that the VI interface isn't always intuitive, so they may have a policy in place for these situations. At this stage, you've done everything you reasonably could. I'd try not to assume the worst based on one disrupted answer, and hopefully the strength of your preparation and later answers will carry more weight :) [/QUOTE]
