Interview on Friday - chuffing bricking it :-(

Jitterbug123

You clearly want the job so just remember:

They already want to interview you, so they must already think you're good.

You've done your prep so you know what you're talking about.

They'll expect you to be slightly nervous and that's ok, it means you don't come across as arrogant.

You know you can do the job, or you wouldn't have applied!

Good luck

I've had 2 interviews where I've had to do a presentation on a subject that wasn't disclosed until I got there. That was scary! Especially when i thought I knew what the subject would be and it turned out not to be!

Ack that's so much worse. See the presentation is on a subject that is extremely important to my current role- my main worry is trying to include the obvious but also set myself apart from the other candidates. I am trying to get out as new managers making life hell, so looking at similar roles elsewhere. I think I've got it down now, so I can start the actual interview prep.

It's overrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, if they could bottle that feeling you get when you walk OUT the door after an interview finishes... it's just the best feeling in the world!

It went.. okay. Can't really enthuse any more than that, I answered the questions as best I could but I don't think I "shone". Still, it's over, and I can forget about it until the end of next week when they said they hoped to be able to let me know.

This evening it's just about me, Derek the cat, and a beer.

Oh no! Is that good, as in more time to prepare, or bad, as in "I wanted it over with!"??
