I had an interview today for a job I want more than anything. I was amazed I even got an interview. I've never been unsuccessful in a job interview in my life but this was different and I was nervous.
I just couldn't answer any of the questions, one of the interviewers looked at her watch and seemed uninterested. The interview didn't flow, so many awkward silences, i just wanted it to hurry up. The interview only lasted 25
Minutes instead of 45 minutes as I just went quiet.
So I presumed I had lost all chance of the job until toward the end of the interview they asked me for references, said I was pretty, asked me if I would be happy to take part in a training programme they would like me to go on as I'm fairly newly qualified, would I consent to a health questionnaire and when I could start/ let me know they would let me know the outcome first thing Monday. I thought maybe they're just being polite but then the interviewer took time to take me out of the building and talk to me about where I live and if I enjoyed my previous job.
Am I being daft to think I have a chance considering how bad the actual interview went? Could I be hired even if my answers weren't great.
