Messed my NHS interview up

[GEECI]

I had a really important interview on Friday for a Band 5 nursing job at a top NHS trust. I’ve been out of practice since 2023 but did feel I prepared well for my clinical skills section of the interview. However on the day all went well except that section and nerves got the better of me talking a scenario through and I know I gave a wrong reply at the end. It wasn’t until I walked out of the hospital that I realised. I feel sick as I really want to work for this company. I just need some stories of hope! I feel I came across very well and I was the only candidate there wearing a suit to the point where a staff asked me if I worked there already! There were so many people there interviewing but only 5 positions.

In that case OP, I’m afraid it doesn’t look positive but still hope

I'm surprised they didn't ring back or leave a message. Can you ring them today?

Got my fingers crossed for you!

That’s why I’m not so hopeful!

Thank you

My mum always used to say, 'this, or something better is round the corner'...

That's so annoying. They should at least email.
Fingers crossed.

As I suspected I didn't get the job but the lead person is calling me on Monday in response to a comment I made about the interview process which is nice

Commiserations and even though not getting this job, is all good experience for your next interview.

Treat your feedback call as an extension of the interview though, staying polite and professional as you never know when they might be recruiting again. Also worth asking if they keep a reserve list.

Sorry to hear that op. It's a learning and interview training experience if nothing else.
Onwards and upwards.

I'm sorry OP, wishing you lots of luck for the next one.

Wow I didn’t know you can request interview questions beforehand? Does it say you can on the advert or something ? How would you know that
