Interview advice please

[SharonStoned]

after having spent the last hour getting my knickers in a knot about what I'm going to wear to my interview I can suddenly see the benefits of phone interviews.......I could be in my underwear and they'd never know

and i still haven't decided what im wearing

[rachbon]

i hate finding stuff to wear for an interview. i want to look smart but i still want to keep my style. it's impossible. i just hate boring business dress clothes.

[SharonStoned]

When in doubt black trousers & black top.

Plus you look slim (mer)

I f**king hate phone interviews

Really have no idea how it went :s

On the upside I could sit in my baggy jeans and a crappy hoodie rather than having to get suited up (as much as I love suiting up )

I went to see about a job last Saturday, spent most of the day role-playing in their office doing the work that they do on a daily basis (well a simplified version of it).

There was about 20 of us there, got called today to go in for 2nd interview so fingers crossed

[TalkShow Bob]

Good luck paul!

[Paul ™]

Thanks Bob, looks a good place to work.. small office (24 staff overall) so would be good to get into that enviroment and it's right in the centre of Glasgow

Got through to the next stage

Had a missed call and a voicemail at half 4 but glad I didnt answer as I was already in the pub

Now to get in touch with them and arrange a date I can go for an assessment centre

Just got back from travelling all the way from East Sussex to Swanage for an interview for Teaching Staff at an adventure holiday centre. Put in the application very late last Wednesday (the closing date) and had an interview offer by 10am the next morning!

Interview and activity afternoon was actually a lot of fun...worst bit was one of the team building exercises where my poor fellow interviewees had to lift me up in a challenge...it took me a while to calm down after that! The presentation talk and interview was a breeze compared to that!

I felt a bit of a nit all dressed up smart for the interview cos everyone else was in casual, adventure centre style get up! Doh!

Going for an interview to teach English in Japan tomorrow. One of the most competitive graduate programmes in existence. ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

RE: the above.

I applied for this job in October, had an interview in January, and apparently the results were sent out yesterday. So either way, I'm getting drunk this weekend. Either to drown my sorrows in a big bottle of gin, or to say 'YIPPEEE! JAPAN!'

If one of the questions is "who do you model your work ethic on", it's always best to say Artur Scargill.

[dakyras]

What was the result?

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Got on the sodding reserve list. So, depending on my position on the reserve list, if someone drops out, I get in. But there's no way of knowing your position on the list, so it's either put next year's plans all on hold, or make plans and say "No thank you Mr Roboto". I'm just gonna apply for a shit-tonne of MAs.

[dakyras]

Sometimes I think a rejection would be easier to handle, at least then I could commit fully to some other plans.
