What's done is done, and there's no use worrying about this now.So I just interviewed with a program that highly values research, and while discussing my current work, the interviewer (who had tons of experience in a related field) made an observation about the implications of one of the things I had mentioned that seemed to contradict something else I had said. I blanked and basically responded by saying "that's a good point, and I'm not entirely sure what reconciles that seeming contradiction." I've been kicking myself over this from the moment I logged off the interview, because I DO know what reconciles that seeming contradiction, and I just totally blanked when it came up.
Other than this, I think the interview went well, but how much will this mistake hurt me?
That's a major turn off for me when I see people do this (which is super rare, BTW). It telegraphs neediness and control issues.Maybe include a sentence about it in your thank you letter to them?
