How zoom helped me NOT land my first job

#discuss #beginners #career

After I've submited over 100 applications, I've got chance to experience my first interview

So how it went?

Zoom first crashed right after I joined meeting when I tried to turn on my webcam.

A few minutes later, the zoom crashed a second time.

I rejoined again and answered few interviewers questions. One of interviewers asked me about my experience with bootstrap and SCSS, after I finished my monologue I've noticed that they are silent and zoom crashed for last time.

I've asked myself, am I mentally challenged and unable to use simple software like zoom? Or maybe my potato computer is too weak to deal with zoom? It handled UE5 and video rendering just fine.

I decided to check if my suspicions were right and opened zoom, started the meeting and everything worked fine, it didn't crash and even my webcam worked fine.

Hopefully during my next interview if I fail, I fail because of my lack of experience and/or skills.
