Despite the confusion, the woman revealed that the hiring manager handled the mishap with grace, clarifying that the HR department had arranged the interview, not the manager herself, leaving her unaware of the error until Jess pointed it out.
Although Jess was wearing earphones, so viewers couldn't hear the hiring manager's responses, she indicated that the work history on the CV wasn't reflective of "her background" and mentioned that her name is "quite popular".
However, she received a glimmer of hope as the hiring manager promised to touch base with her in April to explore any potential roles that align with Jess's actual qualifications.
She attended a video call interview, only to discover that her interviewer had made a colossal error by inviting her based on another candidate's CV – a mishap caused by them both having exactly the same name.
Many expressed empathy, understanding how such a mix-up could occur when Jess and another candidate shared an identical name.
