I messed up today on one phone interview. There were questions, simple questions, that completely stumped me, and that awkwardness definitely came across during the phone interview. Should I not bother to go for the face-to-face interview? The deck is completely stacked against me after this.
Has anyone here flubbed a phone interview and ended up having a better face-to-face interview, and got a job?

Hey, I thought I totally screwed up my phone interview. I thought I sounded like a complete idiot. I stammered, said a lot of, "uhhhh..." and was totally unprepared for it. I thought for sure they would never call me back. Well, they did. I got a face to face interview and got the job.
You are your own worst critic. Do not also become your own worst enemy. Go for it!
