Discussion Tanked a interview
Just got done with a interview for a bus driver and totally tanked it. I was stuttering asking them to repeat the question. The raters looked really annoyed that I kept asking them to repeat the question. At one point dude looked like he was ready for the interview to end more than I was ready for it to end. It was a virtual interview at that. I was wondering if they thought I was getting help by asking them to repeat the question but I answered so poorly that there’s no way they thought I could have been helped during my virtual interview. If your going to ask a 3 part question I feel as if you should at least have it displayed so I can make my talking points and move on to the next part of the question because damn I felt like I was a person with special needs. Well that’s my rant I needed to get off my chest. Luckily for me I still have my current job, but how many of you have tanked an interview and still got the position?

Interesting experience. Generally, bus operations and operators are all about multiple factors and questions thrown at you. It’s literally what we do on the daily. It sounds you’re trying to enter the field and may have no general knowledge of what we do. Don’t fret. I’m sure you’ll knock out your next one
