They contacted me an hour before the scheduled time, insisting that I had got the time wrong and that they had been waiting for me to log on to zoom. I was flustered and not dressed, and hurriedly set up, sure that I'd blown my chances already. At the end of the interview, the other panel members logged in and it was confirmed that I was correct and they were the ones who'd got the time wrong. But I didn't get to the next round because they said that me getting flustered showed how I reacted to unexpected adverse circumstances, and that my apologising for getting the time wrong showed that I was not firm in my convictions. I'm glad I won't be working there, frankly, but I was wondering what I could've done differently after the fact -other than asking for a redo of the interview. ETA: thanks for all the replies & support <3 To the ppl who said I dodged a bullet - ur absolutely right! Phew!! To the ppl who said I should've sent them a screenshot of the email etc- I just PAnICked lol. Next time I won't for sure, so in that way it was a great learning experience!
