I bombed my first scanning interview
Hello. First time poster to this subreddit and I just need to vent into the void with people who might understand a bit better than my friends and family out of the field.
I fully graduated (passed SPI, finished 810 hours of clinicals) on March 27th. Been applying everywhere and anywhere while I study for my CCI RVS, and finally, FINALLY got a call back last week. Aced the phone interview. Really set myself up well for the practical.
And then I completely bombed it.
I forgot EVERYTHING. Panicked. Took forever to find the CFV and the saphenofemoral junction. I’m not like that. I’m better than this. I can usually find that in my sleep on a bad day. I fucking graduated top of my class and was named best scanner. I’m horrifically embarrassed and discouraged now.
I know it was my first real interview. I know it’s not the end of the world nor the end of my career. But I just feel like an absolute fucking failure and moron right now. Any advice for future interviews or things I should do to prepare are appreciated and welcomed. I just feel so damn lost now and more downtrodden than I have in my entire thirty two years of life.
