@crinrict (not OP) I just had this issue. The audition didn’t fall on a holiday, but my Sim (Vanessa Jeong) got a “Let’s go on a date?” message as soon as she left for the audition. (I dismissed the message, btw.)
She seemingly passed the audition (there’s gig interactions in all the right places, like the computer and “research playful emotion”), but the career panel was stuck on audition interface and there was no “Vanessa passed her audition!” notification.
Exiting & saving, and then reloading the save fixed the issue, though.
(I play on console.)
