I have an interview in an hour..

I'm really nervous!
Mainly because it would be a change of direction so I feel a bit underprepared with answers - I can talk about what I can currently do but only vaguely about what's needed in the new job, if that makes sense. I just think they will ask lots of technical questions I can't answer.
Deep breaths. They wouldn't have offered an interview if they weren't interested, right? Arrrh I hate this process!

Good luck. Just be yourself and, yes, they've seen something in your application that's positive.

Good luck!
Yes, they wouldn't have asked you for an interview if they didn't think you could do the job.
Maybe pose that question to them if they ask if you have any questions: "do you have any concerns about my ability to do the job?"
"I have plenty of transferable skills and am really excited about this role - what training will you provide to ensure I get up to speed on the technical elements?"

It's your opportunity to interview them too and to make sure this is the right move for you.

Good luck!!!!

Great questions BlackKittyCat, thanks.
Debating whether it's too unprofessional to set my laptop up in the garden as it's so beautiful today. I probably would end up squinting at them so best not!

Make sure to close them:

Is there anything else I can tell you about myself that will help me secure this position? [my 16 year old son said this in a recent phone interview for a hospitality job and they loved it]
When can I expect to hear back from you? What are the next steps?

Good luck!

Thank you for the tips and good luck wishes. I don't think it went great, but it was OK. I will hear by the end of the week. I'm not pinning my hopes on it, put it that way!
