Congrats to all and to Ask123: gefeliciteerd! Houd de Nederlandse eer hoog!

I received feedback and that was very disappointing to say the least. She started with explaining that the outcome was not based on one test, but on the whole collection.

Then.....why is it that I am not through???? I passed all tests with flying colors except Simulation. That's really the only one! More disappointing when it felt that that was actually one that went well (in my eyes). I was very relaxed because they told me to mostly have some fun! - which I did. Now I understand I should have taken this one more competitively, mostly timewise. I haven't 'parrotted' the instructions enough and was not fast enough in my decision making and not followed procedures enough. I am quite devastated to hear this - I write & train procedures and am a communication specialist. They clearly, to me, have failed in conveying the intent of the exercise at the start. I still remember so well how easy I thought this exercise was and how I waited for the sign to move on (it was slow). Now I'm left with: I should have parrotted and speak out loud everything thought...not be efficient and have fun.

But the biggie: I WAS unsuccessful on just the one. How s*t and unexpected.

I'm left with info I can't do anything with. I was hoping to really learn fr the feedback and be able to do something with it one way or the other. I didn't. And it really sucks to be stopped in my path on something I perceived as the easy bit....so surprised.

I really think they have made a mistake...but so be it. She asked if I was interested in other positions. I'm not. There is only one thing I want..
