I cocked it up didn't I?

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 Blush.

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!

Congrats!! Before reading your update I was going to say that if it helps, I had a candidate tell me that we lived so close to each other (we'd been chatting at lunch) that she could throw rocks at my house from hers. I thought she was fab, she went down to her car and rested her head on the steering wheel whilst berating herself 🤣

You showed you were human! I once responded to 'are there any questions that you want to ask us' with 'yes, can I go now please?'! Not my finest hour.

I was about to say 'If they liked you, I can't see it blowing your chances unless the interviewer was incredibly uptight', then I actually stopped to RTFT, lol and I see I was right! Congrats!

Well done! That's great news I'm so glad for you :)
