    Awwww you lot :o thanks all.

    Well, I guess it went OK - there was a skills test with one of these scenario / choose what you'd do thing. With hindsight, I should've answered a couple differently :( but the other bit of it was OK. Interview itself went OK but, as usual, I really didn't sell myself properly - I'm just hopeless at that side of things :o. Putting it on paper - tick, gift of the gab - cross!

    Hey ho, it was good experience which is what I was really after (has been over 4 years since I've been for an interview) so I got what I wanted (well nearly!) from it!

    Well .... it was the expected No:( but I guess at least I've now got a bit of recent interview practice so I guess that's a positive to take away from it:)

    I am terrible at interviews - have tried loads of trick but I just don't have "the gift of the gab" IYKWIM. If I could write the answers it'd be a totally different matter :rotfl:but unfortunately you can't in that situation.

    Terrible with interviews too. Written ones would definately be better :)

    You guys are wonderful:A:A - feel like I'm wrapped up in one of those very dodgy group hugs :rotfl:

    Going to treat myself to a soak with some of the "nice" (usually Sunday night only ;)) bubble bath that was bought on that fantastic deal a few weeks ago!:)
