Interview follow-up advice

Hi there! Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I am in need of some advice regarding a recent interview I had. I had a job interview via zoom last week that was only 5-6 minutes long. Originally scheduled for 11:00 AM, but the interviewer no-showed. I assumed she was running late, so I waited 12 minutes and then sent her an email confirming the date/time.

Hi there!
Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I am in need of some advice regarding a recent interview I had.

I had a job interview via zoom last week that was only 5-6 minutes long. Originally scheduled for 11:00 AM, but the interviewer no-showed. I assumed she was running late, so I waited 12 minutes and then sent her an email confirming the date/time. She responded within a few minutes and said she mixed me up with another candidate that had the same name as me, but had canceled earlier that day… I chalked it up to bad luck and was willing to start my interview 20 minutes late.

She hopped on the zoom and when I said, “what are the chances you had two candidates with the same name!” She then changed her story again and said we didn’t actually have the same name and was just confused and we started the interview.

It thought the interview went well despite it being short lived, but I have yet to hear back from her.
Feeling discouraged that I potentially didn’t get the job and that I didn’t get a fair shot at it since my interview was so quick because of a mistake she made.
Thoughts?
