Did you feel good about the interview? I always try to think of interviews as a two way thing, but I've only managed to do it once personally, one place was just awful! But I'm guessing (because you sound really positive) that it seems like a good workplace.
£100 is mad! Well done!! I used to try to do that and I hit maybe £50 on a good month (but I was young and had no patience).5 -
I think it went OK, and it's definitely a good business, I just embarrassed myself with the IT 😳
I clearly have a lot more patience than I realise - I've just done the exact same survey on Qmee that I did yesterday on Nectar Canvass 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I was OK with the software, just let down by the hardware 😮! Told my Mum about it today:
Mum: "Sounds like you need a new laptop"
Me: "Er, maybe I need a new job first" 🙄
New laptop eh, why didn't I think of that??? 🙄🙄🙄Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Perhaps you could speak to your mum about loaning you a computer for interviews if it becomes a big issue. Although I imagine that interviewers are pretty tolerant of computer glitches, it's out of everyone's hands isn't it!5
