job hunting and phone interview

[uscuba2]

I just had a phone interview for a company. It was going great right up  till she put me on hold and then asked me about  what  I knew about the company. I  totally blanked. I read up  on the company  and just blanked out everything.   did I blow it  since there was not a follow up  set up?

No way to tell. But, a good lesson for next time - the best thing about phone interviews is that you can "cheat" and have things in front of you on paper! Hope it works out.

Ditto!  This is excellent advice. 

And how rude of the recruiter.  I never ever ever put someone on hold during a phone interview!

it is funny you said that, since she said next time you should have notes or something. I feel like that is telling me just read what is the website back to me.
 
Yea, she said that  it  was a hiring manager in canada  and that  she needed to  take the call. 

I feel  like it  should be a wash. they  placed me on  hold and  I blanked the company out.
