Say all of your co-workers and supervisors were stuck on a plane and you could not contact them, then 2 important clients email you saying they both need something important done in the next hour, but you only have time for one. How do you handle it?

Say all of your co-workers and supervisors were stuck on a plane and you could not contact them, then 2 important clients email you saying they both need something important done in the next hour, but you only have time for one. How do you handle it?

mainly the interview was focused on technical questions. I was working on fundamental science and the group was very interested in my work, the work that has been done in my group previously. The questions were deep and wide. I received one question from online that I was not sure about. I talked with several fellows out my work, their work. They expected the interviewers to have some questions prepared for them. Overall it was a very good experience with fruitful discussions. I felt that Dow scientists are brilliant, curious and nice. I though I nailed the interview but I got rejection after two weeks. I guess there might be someone with much stronger background and better fitting for the position. Also, I think culture is very important. For future interviews, I with that I could be more confident and flexible. Also, you need to be excellent in your field to join Dow.
