So I was doing my hirevue for a BB in a conference room at my current job because there is literally no where else I can possibly go to quietly do a hirevue. I am working in NYC so everywhere is noisy and my apartment is a small piece of crap. Midway through one of the questions, the receptionist interrupts me and asks, "Hi (my name), are you supposed to be in this room?" I literally cannot believe that a fucking receptionist is the reason that my chances for this BB are screwed.

Did you only had 1 attempt? Couldn’t you re take it?
That was my last attempt. I'm pissed because the first try was not even that bad.
this is a test of how do you deal with interruptions in real life.
you should have said "i'm on a call and will be done in a few minutes"

It's probably for the best you don't break into IB or whatever you're gunning for with that attitude.
You decided to take your HireVue in a public space that people frequently go in and out of, and didn't prepare for the possibility of someone interrupting you?
And why exactly couldn't you do it at your apartment? Having a small apartment isn't going to ding you in a HireVue...
There isn't anywhere for me to sit down
Your apartment doesn't have a chair, bed, or floor.
You don't even have a bed that you can sit on?
Did you reserve the conference room? I'm sure if you talked to the receptionist in advance to book a room, they would be super willing to help (receptionists are generally super nice). I always do my HireVues from my internship but make sure to reserve somewhere where I won't be disturbed.
Wow must have been awkward to not wear pants in a conference room.
Wearing pants for a hirevue is too beta
