Completely bombed Facebook phone screening interview

I recently did a phone interview, the position had a lot to do with my current work. Only had a month to leet and study. Pretty comfortable with leet and cracking the code interview questions. Over the phone panicked and did very bad (questions very easy tho) Recruiter told me I got a year cool down now. Could I have been blacklisted or something? Do you think that will go on my record forever?

Oh boy, it was a nice 4 week run then haha. Sad they are this strict, I really don't think I'm this trash to deserve that :'/

Dude, he's pulling your leg. You can interview countless times until you pass. There's people that interview over 10 times until they pass. Keep at it/improving and keep applying! Persistence and preparation will get you your win! Good luck!

You are in a calling list, not in the blacklist.

“(questions very easy tho)” Questions are always easy its the damn answer that is difficult.

I did it recently and the question was just a regular string/palindrome stuff. Very textbook.

Dude relax, that's the most difficult part actually. Being chill and focused was the biggest challenge IMO
