I actually went through the same thing for my Simmons video interview. Panicked after the first question. I answered the rest, but it was the worst video interview I had done because it was all 'ahh' 'umm' and I don't remember one coherent sentence.


It didn't work out with Simmons, but I'd say that practice and failure will eventually translate to improvement and success. I have yet to secure a TC so it might not be that convincing, but after the Simmons video interview mishap, I passed video interviews with Bristows and Latham. Not all video interviews have worked out and I think this applies to many people. It's definitely a lot more difficult than a face-to-face interview because you can't see who you're talking to and it's timed. So don't beat yourself up--you're not stupid at all!


Some people might not agree, but I think that if it's meant to be, it will be and youe potential will come across to your interviewers if you keep working hard- it'll come soon :)
