I swore in a HireVue and it submitted

Hello all,

Long story short, I was doing a HireVue for Goldman Sachs. In most hirevues I have done, there is typically at least one retake attempt, so I have gotten in the habit of saying "fuck" or like something like that and quickly clicking "stop recording", knowing that I will have another attempt. This takes me to my interview.

The first question "walk me through your resume" was an unexpected curveball. I stuttered a bit, and said "fuck" and stopped recording and it submitted and i totally had no idea there wasnt a retake. I had 7 other questions after that, and honestly, feel like I crushed it. I have a lot of network connections at Goldman who I have been in contact with and have a really good relationship with some of them which I think could help me, but I feel like this could jeopardize this. Honestly, I am not too worried about personally, but it likely highlights the flaws in my judgement/maturity, bc its pretty hilarious. I have a very funny and social, and when needed, professional personality id say, and even though i totally blew that question the remaining questions i dont think could have gone better. Any thoughts? Honestly not going to lose any sleep over if I get a job from GS or not, but genuinely curious about where I could stand.

Honestly if I wa watching your hirevue I would probably laugh and consider you if the rest was strong. Some hard asses would not feel the same

 

Exact same situation happened to me it's comical haha, but for a different bank. All good
