I have to meet five people in one day. I know some interviews will go better than others. What if one of the interviews goes really bad?

Recovering from a bad construction interview session or question is an art, and it requires that you be honest with yourself and your construction interviewers. If the bad construction interview session or question didn't seem too bad, let it go. If you're sure you should have handled the situation differently, find an appropriate moment to readdress the question or to speak to the mistakes or misimpression. construction employers like people who own and rectify their mistakes. Try something like this. "Excuse me. I'd like to speak to a question you asked earlier. After spending some time with you and seeing the office, I think I'd handle that differently..."
