Model Answer 1:
It was on the day of my formal interview at a multinational corporation for the 
post of Market Research Executive (MRE) when I forgot to take my interview 
invitation card. 
I can exactly remember the day, December 23 in 2015. I was invited to appear 
on the formal written test for the post of MRE. As per the instructions, I 
applied for the position after collecting the advertisement from a daily 
newspaper. I applied following all the procedures instructed on the 
advertisement and accordingly they confirmed my candidature for the post 
after justifying my detailed curriculum vitae. They had sent me the invitation 
letter a week before the date. On the day fixed for the formal tests, I went 
there.

I work for a local corporation and I am also responsible for their entire market 
research. So, I had to be very busy most of the time and the interview was set 
on a working day. It was set at 12.00pm sharp and I have to be there (at the 
headquarters of the corporation) at least 20 minutes before the test begins. 
So, I hurried there. I was asked to bring all the relevant documents with me 
including the printed version of the invitation to prove my candidature on the 
entrance. I took everything except the printed copy of the invitation card. I had 
printed a copy and kept that on my office desk. With the tension to reach the 
place in due time, I forgot to take the printed copy with me which caused me a 
great trouble.
Managing the situations was so difficult for me. The security personnel did not 
allow me to enter in the building as I could not show them the interview card. I 
tried to make them realise that it was my mistake and due to the rush I forgot 
to bring that with me. But they argued a lot and by the same time I was racing 
against time. It was around 11.50 am and the security officials were arguing 
with me that why should they allow me to enter ins the building. I was like a 
security threat to them as I did not have the interview invitation card. It was a 
great regret for me. I also did not have any contact number then to inform the 
authority about the delay and the situation. Finally, I showed them the e-mail 
version of the interview card from my email. When they allowed me to enter 
the building, it was nearly 12.00 pm. 
The feelings were not so good at that time. Can you imagine that you are 
racing against the moments and someone is blocking your advancement? The 
feelings are terrible. I am lucky that I use a smartphone with active internet 
connection. If I did not have the phone or the internet connection, I might not 
have been able to attend the interview. They took my written test, oral test, 
and I also had to present some ideas. Overall it was a fine interview but finally, 
I disagreed to occupy the position as they wanted to negotiate with me over 
the salary and other admissible benefits. 
Model Answer 2:
It was really awkward for me when I forget to bring a pen drive just before an 
important meeting. Actually, it happens with me frequently and the 
experiences are not desirable at all. Thank you for this outstanding question. I 
will describe the event now here in brief.

It was the board meeting and I was told to bring some necessary documents 
and presentation through a flash drive. Everything was okay and I inserted the 
necessary documents and information on the flash drive right before leaving 
the office. I was supposed to take the pen drive to the meeting venue where it 
will be presented before a selected group of people to make them aware of 
the next project of the company. I forgot to bring the pen drive and it created a 
mess there.
Actually, I prepared the pen drive and kept it beside the computer at my office. 
But when I went out, I was in a rush and thus forgot to take the drive. Amid the 
business, I completely forgot about the matter that I did not take the pen 
drive. And when I was asked to give the pen drive, I remembered that I did not 
bring it with me. I informed my immediate boss that the pen drive is missing. I 
did not tell him that I forgot to bring the pen drive.
My immediate boss was a man of letters and knew how to deal with situations. 
At first, he made a phone call to our office and asked an employee to check 
about the pen drive. Luckily, the employee made the phone call with the good 
news that he recovered the pen drive and was on his way to deliver it here. 
Our office was a few blocks away from this meeting venue. When he reached, I 
thanked the man for his kind support.
I was feeling guilty. Such an irresponsible act from a senior official like me was 
entirely unwanted. On the other side, I was unable to tell that I made the 
mistake. If I admit my guilt, I might have to lose my job. It was an important 
meeting and everything was on the pen drive to be presented and make the 
audience agreed with the proposals. So, I was in a double-way trouble. But 
luckily, I was saved on that day. I forgot to take the flash drive with me as I 
made late to prepare all the necessary things. Besides, I also had to prepare 
some other presentations and documents. By the same time, the office was 
closed and everyone left the building. Then I also took the leave and to make 
hurry, I forgot about the pen drive. I really felt sorry for the event.
