Well, generally I am a very punctured person and I am not forgetting important task in my life. But here today I would like to talk about one day when I forgot my job interview. It was a junior developer post and I was very excited for this post because currently I am working on that post and I like to hike to my salary so that’s why I am very excited about that post. It was scheduled with one of the well-known IT companies which is located in my town. It happened due to I noted a different date on my calendar. The appointment was on a Monday at 10 am but by mistake I selected 12 dates in my local calendar. Generally I did all the brush up for coding concept and also company background. On that day I completely forgot about that so on Monday I usually follow my daily routine and at the end of the day I got an email from a company that you are coming or not. So immediately my heartbeat was so fast but immediately I replied to the email and I sincerely apologised to them with their kind nature. They rescheduled my job interview and luckily on the next day I got selected in their company and in person I also apologised to them and due to this incident I gained a new lesson that every time I have to check twice before noting everything and also nowadays I start to use a digital calculator rather than relaying one of that.

Well, generally I am a very punctual person and I do not forget important tasks in my life. But today I would like to talk about one day when I forgot my job interview. It was for a junior developer position, and I was very excited about this opportunity because I am currently working in that role and I want to increase my salary. The interview was scheduled with one of the well-known IT companies located in my town. I missed it because I noted a different date on my calendar. The appointment was on a Monday at 10 am, but by mistake, I selected the 12th date in my local calendar. I had prepared thoroughly for the coding concepts and the company background. On that day, I completely forgot about the interview, so on Monday, I followed my daily routine, and at the end of the day, I received an email from the company asking if I was coming or not. My heartbeat raced, but I immediately replied to the email and sincerely apologized to them for my mistake. They kindly rescheduled my job interview, and luckily, the next day I got selected for the position. In person, I also apologized to them, and from this incident, I learned a valuable lesson: I need to check everything twice before noting it down. Nowadays, I also use a digital calendar rather than relying on a paper one.
