Background which is relevant - my mum works at clinic in our local town. She does two clinics per week there, has been there for years and is well known. She does a well woman clinic and a menopause clinic. She is well regarded (I think) and good at her job (many clients will only see her and give gifts etc).
I have an interview on Tuesday (really keen on the job) and it is based in the same location. It is a different role but she knows the two Interviewers well. One would be my boss if successful. On the phone to mum today discussing the job and I tell her the names of the panel. She pipes up 'oh you must mention that you know me'. I feel a bit eek about this and not sure what to do. Obviously want to get the job on my own merits but would feel a little awkward if they found out who I am without saying. Not sure what to do ......
