9 people admit to excruciating interview fails which probably cost them the job
There are a few stressful, key moments in a person’s life which become imprinted in memory forever.
No matter how many lessons or even tests you’ve had, sitting a driving exam is far from relaxing.
Waiting for exam results – or results of any description can be pure agony.
And, of course, there are job interviews .
It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned pro, all those facts you have to remember, all that selling yourself you have to do – making sure you tread the fine line between enthusiastic and psychotic – is a tricky balance.
So, like these Whisper users, you could be forgiven for having the occasional memory blank – or maybe even a bout of nervous vomiting or accidental groping. You’d be in very good company.
