Without any info on the product that is an odd thing to ask you to do, I imagine the pitch will be provided on the day. Focus on having a lovely phone manner in the meantime? I'm sure you do anyway :j

Well I asked for a bit more information. I said that I assumed he meant I was to prepare a sales pitch? And got:

"Your sales pitch will be centred around you obtaining a face to face meeting with a sales consultant in a mock telephone interview, followed by a features and benefits exercise."

Oh geez, I'm doomed....

I don't think I can do it, I'm really stressed. My boyfriend just keeps saying "why you so stressed, you pitched everyday in the last job" which is true, but I had a script and knew what I was talking about!

I agree, and doesn't sound very helpful, no wonder your stressing about it

Well that interview was interesting. I thought I was going for the casual hours and holiday cover role. They actually interviewed me for a part time position that I applied for about 6 weeks ago!

Hope it went okay!

I don't blame you, sounds awful.

I hate Mondays, I wake up raring to go, full of motivation, and there is absolutely nothing to apply for. Sooo bored!

Guess I'll soon find out, I just don't want to get my hopes up

I agree with above, I get bored of seeing the same cleaning and sales jobs hehe. Hoping something will come up this week or I will finally manage to pass my driving test next month, it's number 6 and I always fail on something annoyingly small! I hate when they throw something at you in interviews I normally get brain freeze ha

Sent a thank you note to the contact who sorted out my interview last week with his company. Difficult to write when you just want to say thanks and that you are hopeful without seeming like you are pushing for more help! Hope I pitched it right.

After a nice relaxed weekend working on my degree and reading, I woke up feeling optimistic for the start of a new week. Shouldnt have bothered. E mail inbox empty, and still nothing to apply for. It really is so depressing.

Tell me about it. I just checked job centre site and the same jobs are up that was up all last week, Nothing new what so ever, So depressing considering your supposed to apply for atleast 3 a week
