This might make you just melt into the floor out of sheer secondhand embarrassment.

Laura MacLean,Watch Batman Begins Online a 21-year-old student studying management and marketing in the UK, was exceptionally prepared for a job interview with Microsoft. She had an outfit ready, research done, and practice interviews with friends and family completed, according to BuzzFeed.

She was so prepared, in fact, that she showed up to the Skype interview a full month early.

"I didn’t want to mess up my one chance," MacLean told BuzzFeed. "And these types of chances don’t come around often with big tech companies like Microsoft."

When she didn't receive the scheduled 11 a.m. call, she reached out to her recruiter to ask if everything was alright.

In an email, the recruiter reminded her that their interview was the 18th of February. But MacLean was so eager for the opportunity, the month went over her head.

"It is the 18th of February and it was scheduled for 11am," she responded to the recruiter, on Jan. 18. "Sorry for the inconvenience, I am just slightly confused."

The recruiter promptly explained that it was still January, and that "February is next month."

Yikes.

"When the team emailed back reminding me it was in fact January and February was the next month, I quite frankly wanted to disappear into thin air," she told BuzzFeed.

After her tweet about the embarrassing exchange went viral, though, Microsoft recruiters reassured her with "Don't worry some mistakes just happen," and even added a cheery smiley face.

Twitter users voicing their support pointed out that even if clueless, MacLean was more than punctual.

Another joked that she seemed to forget her own birthday.

On the plus side, even Microsoft seemed to get a kick out of it. The company's Head of Global Talent Acquisition, Chuck Edward, wished MacLean "the best of luck" on her upcoming interview.

In a statement to BuzzFeed, he said Microsoft is "always looking for candidates who have a growth mindset," adding that it means "taking initiative, leaning into uncertainty, looking for solutions, and recognizing our own mistakes."

Hopefully she can stay this prepared for the weeks leading up to Feb. 18!

Mashable has reached out to MacLean for additional comments, and we'll update this post when we hear back.
