Candidate Mixup

When student candidates come to interview, the company pairs them up with current employees who graduated from the same school. So I got paired up with a female candidate of Czech descent for the candidate lunch. Before lunch, most people have no idea who their lunch buddy will be on either side.

So I walked into the lobby and looked around. A Caucasian girl stands up looking at me expectantly so I assumed she was my candidate. "Karolina?" I asked. Then she looked confused so I thought I might have pronounced her name incorrectly. Then I introduced myself. She was like "Ooo, I'm not meeting you." Quickly, we both sat down in the lobby couches and waited for our lunch buddies.

Funny how these mixups happen. :p
