I cocked it up didn't I?

[Oddcat]

I'm job hunting and was called back for a second interview last week . It was going really really well. The interviewer asked if I had any last questions ( I'd already asked a couple) and instead of keeping my gob shut , out came "So what are my chances ?"

Ffs , I am never normally this bloody pushy ! I don't know what came over me .

After an awkward back-pedal by me saying I was joking, the interviewer asked what I was doing the weekend and I said taking Dear Daughter out ( literally those words ).

I should hear today - I don't want to answer my phone.

Please give me some hope!

It's been a while, but if someone said that during a job interview, I would take it as a sign they were keen on the role.

That's fine! You are honest!

Don't worry, they'll have finished the interview by that point. And I'm sure they've had much worse said to them!

Good luck!

Thanks all , I cringe every time I think about it.

Good luck. At least it showed that you are interested in the job.

Did you actually say dear daughter?

For me it shows you are keen and human!! A second interview is tough! Good luck 🍀

I must have sounded like I was pissed and trying to get him into bed.

Wakk yes

Oh bless you Oddcat 😆 I've got my fingers crossed for you.

I am sorry but this did make me laugh.
Good luck and hope that you get the job

I've asked what my chances were and in the end I got the job. They want someone who wants to work there, don't forget that.

Dear daughter 😂🤣🤣

Newsername shut up

I think it's funny,. It shows you have a sense of humor, are keen and you must have felt comfortable in the interview to say that. Good luck!

😖😖😖

Ya muppet 🤣

If I still thought you were the best candidate for the job, I’d readvertise the position

No, not really, but I would make bloody sure I could get rid quickly if I need to 🤣

‘So, what are my chances?’
🤣😁🤣😁

I've said worse in interviews! Good luck.

If I do , by some miracle , get offered the job , do I really want to work for a company that employs muppets? !

Aah, I really hope you get the job OP! Apart from the dear daughter (which is honestly just cringe, but you know that), I don’t think you did anything wrong. Even dear daughter isn’t exactly a reason to not give a job to someone. I have my fingers crossed for you!

saying dear daughter is the mumsnet equivalent to a masonic hand-shake. Either they are in on the code, or just think it's whimsical.

"When do I start ?" ?

I got the job !!!!!!

Woooohooo! Well done OP.

Congratulations. They obviously decided you would fit in.

Congratulations 😂😂😂😂
And I bet they are a great company to work for😊
