I recently missed an important interview for a software engineering position at a tech startup. I had been preparing for it for days, but unfortunately, I lost track of time due to a prior commitment that ran longer than expected. I felt really disappointed in myself for not being able to make it and I’m worried it might affect my chances of landing a job. I reached out to the recruiter to apologize and see if there's any possibility of rescheduling, but I'm not sure what the outcome will be. It's a tough situation, and I'm hoping for the best.
