Interview Post

Sorry - I should have posted this a couple of days ago.  One or two of you asked how the interview went ...

Well ...

It went OK ... and considering the last interview I had was to attend my college, back in the Autumn of 1978 (!), it was a great experience.

Not the best of starts though, as I was greeted by the overall boss, another local manager and a regional manager.  The overall boss started by saying that she hadn't wanted me called as I wasn't qualified enough ... to which I was able to reply that the ad did say that training would be available.

So, although that could have tripped me up I was able to start with a confident answer.

It lasted about 45 minutes, and I was able to answer all the questions, in what I hope was a confident and positive manner.

So, although it was a no-go ... I was actually happy to be called .... and felt positive about the overall experience.

On the bright side you have the experience of an interview. This will make you more confident for the next one that comes along.

YAY for the quick and positive response to the overall boss.

Thanks Tommy.

It really has made me feel good both about my ability to fill in application forms -a nd in coping with whatever questions I get asked.

Sounds good.As someone who has been on a few interviews I know a bad one can do things to your self-esteem sometimes so I'm glad it worked out! :)

I know God has a great plan for me.

Even if it won't turn out, it was a good experience to train. I'm in my job since 1992, I'm rusty with these interviews too.

Good for experience and 45 minutes is grueling!

45 minutes did seem forever - but at least I know I can do it!
