Thanks Pepe. Keep swinging between 'yay I could do that job and I really want it' and 'I am useless and could never do that' :rolleyes:

BB - well done with your observation :T

Whats up Bun? :grouphug:

So write down the reasons that you feel would make you the ideal candidate and look at them when you are having a confidence crisis.
It will also help when you get the 'So Miss Squizz, what makes you the right candidate?' question at interview.

Did you see The Apprentice, Kate ( the losing Finalist) was a master of the 'learned response', churning them out like a robot!


Well done BB:D

edit; see! I made no reference to swinging....

keep on the 'yay I could do that job and I really want it' side of thinking squizz. I've applied for a couple of jobs recently where I've wavered right up to (and past!) the time I've applied. I just kept gritting my teeth and thinking that the real reason I wanted to not get any further was down to lack of self confidence and belief - the crunch time only really comes when you are offered the job.

That is it exactly BB.. but you should know that you've inspired me with your recent super-applying/ interviewing

Pepe, well done with your self-control

awwwwwww............ta squizz.......it is hard though - I see a job, think oooh, fab job. Then think - nah, couldn't do that. Do the form and think - yep, could do that. Send it off. The next couple of weeks seem to take forever until it closes and in that time I think - nah, that isn't me. From day it closes and for the next 2 weeks, I'm like a kid waiting for a birthday card with the post each day!! So I veer from thinking it is exciting to thinking it isn't me. The 'isn't me' is the fear of the interview really and then the thought of starting again somewhere.

Well done BB.
What's up Bunny?
I just got distracted by my accountant (:eek::eek:) followed by SIL with Samuel popping in (:D:D).
Just found a job for a deputy registrar that I would fancy doing.

A little story for you:rotfl:

This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.

Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.

At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies.

The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.



Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and digbicks. The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.


At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper.

The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince."Blame that !!!!!! ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge.


When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk.


Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.


Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny!

Same advice as to Squizz, BB. Learn those responses, most interviewers are carp at interviewing and they get easily swayed by confidence and likeability of the candidate.............you will already match their technical criteria for the job, thats why you will be sitting there all dressed up:D,
practice!

You've summed it up perfectly. Except this one doesn't have a closing date so don't know if I will hear soon or never

'Better the devil you know'..........except that if the Devil you know is boring, not paying you enough and all his little demons ( your 'workmates') are a pain in the derriere.......why stay?

When you change a job, its not just the job that changes...

This one pays about the same but the job sounds sooo much more interesting.
