Interview today

Hello,

I've got an interview today at quater to four.
Feeling a bit nervous - It's a big step as far as my career is concerned and will give me a massive pay rise.
i'm sure I could do it standing on my head, it's just gettng through the interview.

I haven't had an interview with someone I didn't know for yonks!!
Sorry for the drivel - but thought posting would calm my nerves!!! I keep telling myself a few nerves are good!!!

    Thanks everyone ! I will . I think I'm last to be interviewed and a colleague of mine says this is a good thing! - but it's for a council so I don't know how long it will take until I hear
  • Keep reminding yourself how nervous the interviewer must be at the prospect of interviewing a candidate who's so clearly ideal. Just relax, be yourself and aim to put him or her at ease :)
    Eek! Someone's stolen my signature! :eek:
